All of my settings and control mappings just disappeared...

Featured Replies

So I've rage-quit FS20 for a while...

I can't go through the tedious FS20 control-mapping process again, but I believe there are a couple of tools that can do the mappings external to MSFS, does anybody have comments particularly
* ability to save mappings
* ability to print mappings
* ability to edit mappings in text files
* ability to import mappings into FS24
Thanks

Same happened to me earlier.  I think it may have been a server issue.  Lost my assistances, sound and graphics settings and had to reset them all.  If you go into the controls settings and re enable your profiles, that should bring them back without resetting any of your controllers.

Reboot your computer and restart the sim.  This brought mine back.  Seems it was only a temporary server glitch.

Two things: -

1.  It was a day later when I did this.  The server might have got over itself in the meantime.  It was a nice surprise to see them back.

2.  I really, really share your frustration!

Learn fsuipc 7 and you're set for life. Worth paying for the full version. Never rely on default wonkiness again.

Agree on FSUIPC7 with its easily backed up plain text file that stores all the settings.

I also put all my controller mappings in a spreadsheet stored in the cloud.

My cloud is synced to my PC which I back up to a USB drive. I copy the USB drive to another USB drive in the office drawer.

Computers should not be trusted to look after your valuable data (and settings).

Can I copy my current setup to FSUIPC or would it mean starting from scratch?

Well, another day and the control settings are back, but the display settings are toast and my frame-rate is glacial...

Will look into FSUIPC7, also Axis-and-Ohs I think?

Yes, you will find FSUIPC.CFG in the FSUIPC directory. After you have set all your mappings, just copy and store that file. When you need it, drop it in the main directory, and within less than a minute, all your settings are back in case of any issues. Even though the MSFS 2020/2024 offers more fine-tuning, this problem has been going on for the last 4 years and is still not fixed, regardless of how easily it can be addressed. THEY DON'T LISTEN/CARE!

But... the settings are in the cloud, they don't need to be backed up or exported 😉

I take screen shots of the controller mappings. At least you have something, when all else fails. UserCfg.opt will hold the graphics settings so, make a copy of that.

It has happened to me a few times…searching the forums I found a post that simply had me un-plug all my USB controllers and re-plugging them back in. All my saved profiles (which I found out were cloud stored) were back. It was as if they were always there, which they were. I’ll try and find the post.

There is a a great video by Les O’Reilly explaining this.

There may be a misunderstanding here. I was mentioning only FSUIPC settings, nothing about the cloud or starting from scratch. Just one little file saved on a hard drive or USB will do the trick. Just very easy without messing around with the cloud.

I was replying to your comment about Asobe not caring about settings, and I was making a joke that they probably think that they don't have to because the settings are stored in the cloud. This, of course, is nonsense 🙂

I think you mean the FSUIPC7.ini file which has all the hardware bindings.  I have used versions of FSUIPC for a long time but don't recall ever seeing FSUIPC.cfg or FSUIPC7.cfg.
