MSFS reset my General Options and AC View settings today. Thanks Microsoft!  Grrrr.  I know where my control settings are and those were untouched.

C:\Users\XXXX\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe is on my C drive and that is backed up daily. 

I run 3 monitor setup in MSFS and when this happens it is a true PITA.  My bad for not doing a screen shot of my latest settings of Experimental 3 monitor setup.  Had a screenshot of my graphics settings.  Those do not matter so much because I am switching to a 4090.

The custom AC views for each aircraft are a PITA to redo also since there are a number of planes I use.  They are saved to my numpad.  Can not screen shot those.

Does anyone know where the General Options and individual AC View Settings are stored?  I will just make a back up of those for the next time this occurs. Gees I hope they are not in the cloud.

Besides AppData, the rest of the install is on my F drive and I am guessing the settings I want to back up might be in F:/WindowsApps but I am not sure.  I noticed with a resent reinstall that WindowsApps is no longer permissions restricted.  Guess they got a lot of flack for that.

Cheers!

They may very well be.. 🤫

It did happen on a long failed sync process on startup.

 

For Steam, custom camera views are stored here:

C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\SimObjects\Airplanes\[specific aircraft]\cameras.cfg

I'm guessing that MSStore stores them similarly.
