October 8, 20214 yr Went to make a flight tonight, all my settings have reverted even though it doesn't show any different in the options screen. I was getting the odd cockpit interaction, so had to turn legacy off and back on. Then as I tried to take off, I got a thing saying my objective was to apply full throttle. Halfway down the runway, the aircraft decided to turn on the emergency brake and drag me to a halt. What's going on?! EDIT - trying to advance the throttle, it resets to idle. Went and tried to drag the throttle levers, they instantly reset to idle. Also, my place/airport indicators are back on. Edited October 8, 20214 yr by andyjohnston.net
October 8, 20214 yr I've had this happen a few times to a friend of mine. We traced it back to the "auto-optimize" function in nVidia Geforce Experience. If you have MSFS set to be optimised, it will go ahead and replace your settings with what *it* thinks you should have. This typically happens after a driver update. I make sure I periodically check that this setting in the GFE CP hasn't magically enabled itself.

October 8, 20214 yr I use GeForce Experience all the time and have never had it reset anything except the graphics settings if I request it. GE is by no means the end all and be all, but it's a useful tool for setting up an OK graphics profile from which I can make a few minor tweaks, e.g., turning bloom OFF, etc. Is it better than going through a individually tweaking every graphics parameter? No, but I would rather spend less time tweaking and more time flying. 🙂 John Wiesenfeld KPBI | FAA PPL/SEL/IFR in a galaxy long ago and far away | VATSIM PILOT P2 i7-11700K, 32 GB DDR4 3.6 GHz, MSI RTX 3070ti, Dell 4K monitor
October 9, 20214 yr Author I don't appear to have this, so I don't know what happened. I went and thought I'd set everything to reasonable values, only to find I'd missed the crash detection. It's always something!
