FYI, if you install a new repaint, you lose your hobbs hours, even if you have "set to persistance by livery ( off)" on the tablet.

    Hi Len, Our flight model aerodynamics are 100% outside MSFS including wind physics (we read the weather conditions reported by the simulator). This is why the airplane feels different as it flies t

    Someone back a few pages asked about spark plug fouling, so just some context first.  I purchased a 1959 Comanche 6229P back in 2012.  It came with standard “massive” type spark plugs which are prone

It would be quite nice if you could view that (and other performance data) in-game by clicking on the POH in the right hand side pocket.

That has been suggested on the A2A forum.

Would be nice with a built-in function to transfer the hours and aircraft state between liveries.

Yes, and what I experienced today, I downloaded and selected the new livery, everything went to zero. Then I reinstalled the livery I had been using with about 30 hours on it, and it now was zero too. Bummer.

Wow - that really sucks. Sorry to hear that. Guess for now I'll try to stick to the same livery or the stock liveries.

It seems for Steam users anyway - The data for the hours are stored in this location: 

C:\Users\Username\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator\Packages\a2a-aircraft-pa24\work

If you want to see if you have anything there.

The path would be different for MS Store versions but you should still have a folder for the aircraft.

I found a folder in the Community folder, but I am not going to mess with it. Afraid I might screw something up. Will wait and see if A2A has a solution, I posted on their website. 

 

 

 

Yeah they're gonna need to do something about the liveries, as any livery update could kill your hours to zero 😬 think of an update as a fresh lick of paint, underneath it's still the same machine.

Also where do i connect the GPU?

Thanks Michael Moe

I see they responded to you, for everyone else:

Well, just keep the 'persistence by livery' setting in whichever position you prefer. With it off, a generic .dat file is used which applies to all liveries (and this is the one which you'll have switched to in your case). With the setting on, each paint scheme will use its own .dat file.

In other words, if you reenable this setting, your hours for each livery should be restored unless you overhauled the plane or something.

I posted the livery problem on the A2A Forum and Nick responded with the solution.

I went back to the original livery I had been flying, and got all my hours back. The new livery will have to start at Zero hours. So the generic.dat file starts at zero.
