Hello,

I've been using SimStarter NG for a while and it's been a huge help. But I have a problem with it.

Some settings keep reverting back to default every time I restart the software, especially values in the config file. Specifically these:

• FXAA = OFF - keeps switching back to ON
• PANELS_ALWAYS_ON_TOP = 0 - keeps switching back to 1
• Mute on lost focus - keeps switching back to ON

It is very frustrating, especially the panels thing, because it's a fix for a CTD cause. When I forget to check if it's reverted and go flying, I get a crash mid flight.

I always press SAVE whenever I can. Why are the settings switched back automatically?

Thank you for explanation.

It's great to know that you are about your paying customers.

Might be worth posting on the SimstarterNG Forum over at Aerosoft!! See also !st Post here.

Might be worth for Aerosoft to answer on every forum that they are managing. (!!!!!!!!!!)

Start p3d not with sim starter then set up your settings the way you want. Close P3d and start simstarter  use the Import  p3d cfg tool and  from there you can turn off or on what you want and save the cfg. For some reason there are settings in the cfg that sim starter doesn't change or needs to be set before you make custom cfg's.   I had similar issues to yours and that is what fixed it for me.   Josh

Thanks very much, appreciate the answer. 🙂 However, I can't find any Import P3D cfg tool 😞 I did what you said - set everything up in P3D, then edit PANELS entry manually in the cfg file and then opened SimStarter, checked correct values in the cfg editor and they were OK. But once I started a profile, the PANELS went straight back to "1". I am running out of  patience here...

Look in the configset under main Configsets once the new window opens, up at the top is a  import P3dconfig click it. This will erase the config in simstarter and give you the one you made when you started p3d without simstarter. Hopefully that should clear up your issue if not then I don't know. Also on a side note whenever you upgrade P3d to the latest you need to go thru that process again as thing change.

This isn't a Aerosoft managed forum. 

Pero left it here as a courtesy for those still using the freeware version of SIMstarter that is no longer being updated.

He does visit occasionally, but posted very early on that owners of SIMstarter NG should use the Aerosoft forum for support.

Frankly, I think he should shut it down to avoid any ambiguity, but he's a nicer guy than I. 😊

I just wanted to say a huge thanks, it worked! I also posted to Aerosoft so called forum and no response in days. You should receive the money instead of them for their products haha, so bad support from them.

Again, thanks!
