In Options/Controllers you can backup as many versions of the profile that you want to, but you already know that. I don't know where these profiles are stored. Or if they are a text file. Anybody can help??

AFAIK FSUIPC allows creating controls profile per aircraft. To be checked how this works for MFS2020.

When I did a full re-install of SP1 the controls where there as I had them This to me means that they are being saved by the server, I even had old logbook entries.

In other words I reset my win image. Formatted drive where MSFS was, then after SP1 was released, I re-installed and all my personalized settings were the way I had them in the initial release.

Very interesting, thank you.

The controls are being backed up to the cloud which is why when you reinstall all your settings are restored. They may keep a local copy but I am not aware of it's location.

The location was just now given to us here in forum by flyinion in this thread:

 

 

In case the link is broken, flyinion said:

C:\Users\<yourname>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\SystemAppData\wgs\

or for steam:

<steam folder>\userdata\<random numbers folder>\<random numbers folder>\remote\<filename>

So now I/we can adjust sensitivities, actually it might be easier than before (use notepad to edit).
