Lost the Layouts in Desktop FIPS after a computer crash

Featured Replies

Computer crashed while I was flying (A Faulty DIMM).  Once back and running, AAO refused to start with the error message shown inhttps://www.avsim.com/forums/topic/625787-configuration-database-error/.

Stopped AAO and found out "ConfigDatabase_MSFS.xml" is corrupt. No worries, renamed version 1 of the backup file to be "ConfigDatabase_MSFS.xml".
After a closer examination, I found this version missing some of the newly created Assigned Buttons. So, I restored the backup file
via Tools --> Restore Database from backup

C:\Users\XXXXX\Documents\LorbyAxisAndOhs Files\AxisAndOhs_MSFS_DB_Backup_20250705112138.zip 

which was the most current and the missing Assigned Buttons are back in action!

But now, I have lost the stored Virtual Instrument Layouts. These were created over the years and if I can restore them that would be great.

Apat from this issue, AAO seems to be working ok.

Hmm, interesting.

The size of "DesktopWebFips_<simulator>.xml" in the Zip file I used to restore AAO is 1KB.
However, I restored anoter "DesktopWebFips_<simulator>.xml" from an earlier Zip file, and vola! my Layouts are back.

Thanks for the prompt response.
There is an another issue with the restored AAO. I think I should be able to get that fxied myself.
