July 5, 20241 yr Recently for reason or reasons unknown my copy of the sim reset and in the process I lost my joystick settings ... have been to Steam Cloud and downloaded a saved version of my profiles... can someone advise as to whether I can reset the profile for use, and if so, how do I do it ...??

July 5, 20241 yr All the controller profiles, even the ones you have deleted, are stored on your local computer. But the ones you changed and did not rename only store the latest version. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

July 5, 20241 yr So if you want one that you are now going to change to be saved as it was, then rename the new version. Both are now saved. EDIT: I have not tested this recently. But a year and a half or so after MSFS was first released, I went to that folder. I had 18 months worth of profiles saved. Lots and lots of them. Most were no longer listed in the game's controllers window. But they were still there locally and could be manually retrieved into the sim, from outside the sim. I'm not sure what was stored in the cloud. To retrieve these old profiles, I used notepad and changed some text near the top of the profile file. I don't remember how I did it. There was one sim update long ago that everyone said was deleting profiles. That's when I went and retrieved them manually because the sim update had deleted mine. Meanwhile a new version of the sim update fixed it automatically for everyone else. So what I did was not necessary, I could have just waited for the sim update fix.

July 7, 20241 yr 2 hours ago, solito said: Where are those profiles stored at the PC ? I believe they are "Cloud" based. I have lost my Controller profiles (Panic City!) and the solution to recover them was actually quite simple. All you do is unplug your controller(s)...Load MSFS...Plug them back in and the profiles should be restored. i913900KF (5.8GHz) | Case: Fractal PopAir RGB I Gigabyte Z790 UD AX| MSI Gaming RTX 4070Ti Super 16GB | Kingston Fury Beast 64GB DDR5 5200Mhz | SOLIDIGM P41 Plus 2TB NVMe M.2 SSD | Samsung SSD 870 EVO 2TB | Thermalright Frozen Notte 240 MM Liquid Cooling | LG EVO 42" Monitor 3840 x 2160 120Hz | Honeycomb Alpha & Bravo | Logitech G Pro pedals | Tobii EyeTracker | 850W Thermaltake 80+ GOLD |
