March 25, 20251 yr I would appreciate your help with this matter. I'm experiencing an issue with setting a new binding for the keyboard, specifically regarding saving and loading it as a new default at startup. I select the 2024 transversal keyboard, duplicate it with new settings, and give it a new name, "master." I apply it to all aircraft and set it as the default. After exiting and restarting the simulator, I'm back to the 2024 transversal keyboard, even though "master" was configured as the new default. Interestingly, all the other peripherals that I set as duplicates with different names retain their new settings without any issues. Thanks. 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.

March 25, 20251 yr I'm afraid you're going to be frustrated by the insane 2024 GUI. I too have been struggling, trying to get my profiles to "stick". As far as I can make out, they appear to be aircraft (not livery) related ... which kind of makes sense (different engine/prop/mixture controls) - but every time I try to apply a generic profile to "All Aircraft" for keyboard, throttle or stick then I get an instant (repeatable) CTD. It really isn't rocket science. X-Plane has had a decent, highly configurable profiles system since day one.

It's such an obvious and crucial part of the core simulation that it shouldn't have gone unfixed for so long. I'm at a loss for words regarding their knowledge and quality control. 747 Captain for the last 39 years, and still learning.
March 25, 20251 yr When it says "Apply to all aircraft" (which always produces a CTD for me), I'm never sure whether it means [only] "Apply to existing/currently loaded aircraft" - and won't be automatically added to any newly added aircraft. What a mess! Not showing the input position on the hardware sliders took 5 months to sort out. I mean, really ...
March 27, 20251 yr Similar problem as above I think. In the image below I have a keyboard profile that I have created and named. I was able to assign it as Default, which I assume means it is the profile that will be loaded whenever the sim starts. I also wanted to apply it to All Aircraft, but nothing happens when I click on Apply to all aircraft. Why is that, what don't I understand? And it is not clear to me what Apply to all aircraft means: - Does Apply to all aircraft mean the profile will be applied to all the aircraft in the sim? - Or does Apply to all aircraft mean the profile will be applied to all variations and liveries of the currently selected aircraft? And finally, once you designate a profile as Default, how can you remove that designation from the profile? Thanks, Al Edited March 27, 20251 yr by ark
March 27, 20251 yr OK ... here's may take on this (and it's only a *guess*): 1) Default means that any newly added aircraft will inherit that [base] profile ... before you then apply a specific/different profile when that aircraft is active. I'd love that newly selected (non-default) profile to stick for that aircraft, but it doesn't always seem to. 2) Apply to all aircraft implies [to me] that it's an all-encompassing operation that wipes all existing profiles (default or previously selected) - of all currently active aircraft - and replaces them with the currently selected profile. However - I can't test this, as I always get a CTD when I try it. Even so - I'm often finding aircraft using the wrong profiles. Is it *aircraft* or *livery* based? Worse still - some legacy liveries come into MSFS 2024 as new aircraft (not a livery subset of the main aircraft), depending on how the livery developer set things up in aircraft.cfg - in which case I imagine you'd need to assign profiles to each *livery*. Confused? I know I am!
March 27, 20251 yr Given how important and fundamental the binding profiles are, I just can't understand why Asobo can't put together a few words to explain how these profiles categories, like Default, Apply to all aircraft, work. Maybe it's because they don't completely work as intended yet? Al Edited March 27, 20251 yr by ark
