When MSFS 2020 starts, I set up my preferences and then apply and save. After quitting the game and then starting it the next time, the preferences have gone back to default. Why is the game not saving them ?

I have now solved this mystery- one of the joystick buttons was controlling the throttle and holding it at mid thrust. Having deleted that assignment, the Saitek throttle now works correctly.

I think it must be something to do with the throttle mapping. I have managed to delete the throttle inputs for the keyboard and no keys are assigned in the throttle settings for the mouse input. Yet the throttle in the aircraft seems to be stuck at 42% and after physically moving the Saitek throttle the aircraft throttle moves but keeps jumping back to 42% I have had a look at Saitek's guide on mapping their hardware but find it difficult to follow. Is there a beginner's guide available anywhere ?

When I move the Saitek throttle forwards to apply power and then leave it around half way, the aircraft throttle lever moves forward too, but then jumps back of its own accord without any further adjustment of the Saitek from me.

I haven't tried all the prop aircraft yet but specifically I cannot get the Daher TBM 930 to fly out of New York JFK airport. I am using the Saitek pro Throttle Quadrant (the old version) -the throttle control is behaving very erratically and I cannot obtain full power to take off. It is possible a new Saitek might cure the problem but they seem to be unavailable anywhere at the moment. I don't think icing is the problem as I have manually set the outside air temperature to 20 degrees C.

Deleting the A32NX folder has worked, as a temporary fix until I get more used to the aircraft.

When attempting a flight with a prop aircraft . more often than not the engine will just stop and die on the take-off run, even though I have plenty of fuel. If I manage to get off the ground, I have to try an engine restart using CTL E Am I missing something in the initial settings ?

A good idea- I will certainly try it.

Ahh- I guess it is because I have downloaded the modified A320 Neo. Is it possible to have both versions running side by side in the sim?

I have attempted to use the MSFS 2020 training module for a take-off. Everything is OK until I set the controls ready for take -off, but there is no ECAS display for the engines and moving the thrust levers has no effect, although there appears to be some noise for idling engines. Additionally the fuel level shows almost empty. I am wondering whether this is a bug or do I have a wrong setting somewhere ?

I am fairly new to MFS 2020 and to date have not had many issues with it. In the last couple of days , when it is loading, I am getting the message "unable to sync with the cloud at the moment" I then have the option to play offline. Why am I getting this message ? My PC is otherwise working OK ( I am using Windows 10) and my internet connection is OK and stable.

It's not just me then ! I hope Microsoft can fix this and the sooner the better.

I have downloaded the latest update to MSFS 2020 and the above key combinations no longer seem to work properly! Before the update and when flying the A320 Neo the keys moved the cockpit views up and down as expected. Following the update the key combination just behaves erratically , moving the camera view all over the place. Anyone else had this problem or have I just inadvertently changed a setting somehow ?

Thank you- that seems to have worked !

I have been having issues with getting my Saitek Throttle working properly with MSFS 2020. It has the old PS2 style connector working through the Saitek Yoke (which I don't use but it is there to enable connection to USB). The throttle lever seems to work but with engine idle at the top and full power at the bottom, rather than the way it used to work with XPlane. The quadrant does not appear on the MSFS 2020 Controls screen. Is there any way I can adjust it to work properly ?
