Saved files ?
« on: August 28, 2022, 07:51:30 pm »
Most settings and edits will not save (no I do not have ProSim)

Where are the saved files located and how can I locate the saved file for a certain edited aircraft?

There are several "appdata", but there's only one %APPDATA%, that's why I always type it like this, it will open the correct one, regardless of the user name or where it is really.

Maybe your local cloudflare finally got some updated files, so you are getting now what you were always supposed to get. And, we also updated some files, but surely not "a ton".

Here is something interesting. I am trying to save my aircraft edits and now realize why my aircraft edits always do not save but my airport edits do - they are separate. So for some reason the appdata files are not saving but the airport files are.

I am experimenting with while editing I keep the appdata file open and make sure the coordinents (spelling) are what I am putting in, in the sim. When all is edited to my expectations I will make the appdate aircraft file Read Only and hope that it works.

Ok that did not work. I think I will try this someday again but you really need to make this save files. It could be that my MSFS is on D drive and the addon file is on C or who knows but for me it is not saving and after spending a couple hours setting up an airport and aircraft and having all only work once is not fun.

I love the program and can go into FSX and do anything with it and it works great , but for MSFS not so great for me.

Known problem for others including me. Blew through a whole weekend trying to figure out why nothing saves after editing aircraft.

I really thing they make this a priority, saving is more important than anything else in this software. I do not want a refund,, I love this and just want to make it work.

Same here. I have watched this program do it's thing and it is very immersive when it works consistently.
