If your Control Profiles are reset to Default...

[Bert Pieke 7,586]

..this happened to me a few weeks back, and I thought that I would have to recreate them to get all my favorite settings back.

Only now, do I realize that each control profile has saved profiles associated with them, so that the Default profile can be replaced with the previously active profile, by selecting the little arrows on the profile title. 

So, it turns out that my settings had not been lost, but were easily retrievable.. 🙂

Lesson learned!

Yes this is the way I set up my throttles as the Fenix throttle behaves slightly differently to the PMDG and again for the 747 etc so you can have each one saved there.

I don't know what the limit is for # of profiles for each controller. Surely it's over 100. The ones you don't delte are all saved in the cloud. And even after I deleted them in the sim they still had been saved on my hardrive. And one time I reactivated these in sim deleted profiles by text editing them after I found that they had been automatically stored and remained on my hardrive (despite being deleted in the sim). (I changed the text which makes them either active or deleted).
