If you closed the game properly, the old ini files will be overwritten. But you can create new window(s).

Right click, create info window, Alt+left click on it, then right click, customize.
Choose from the right side list, what you want to display in this window.

That is just the point I don't remember what was on the original settings.
Can you provide this?

I can't, i have no original settings.
If you delete the ConfUser.ini (C:\Users\ ... \Documents\1C SoftClub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover), the Steam will be restore the default files (with "file integrity scan" steam menu. It is necessary to disable the steam cloud).

Thank you it worked !
But when I put the steam cloud back the whole thing goes back to the game without the chat window:
How can I fix this ?What is the purpose of the cloud?

The purpose of the cloud is to store your settings centrally. If you want to play the game from somewhere/something else, you get automatically the setting you are used to.

I don't have an answer on your first question and I'm curious about the answer because I also want to delete my current files in the steam cloud. If I put cloud synchronization on I lose my current key bindings. I didn't put any time researching this issue because it's not that important to me. I've turned cloud synchronization off.

You can save your control settings locally:
Launch the sim, go to controls and select "save as", then tell it to save an .ini file somewhere you can easily find it.

I do not want to open a new topic for this.

Would it solvable, that the keyboard dont switch in the cabin, while I write the chat message?

noobie question: how is this chat supposed to work? If I click chat window, I cannot type a new msg.
I tried making a keyboard shortcut for "send chat message", bound to key C.
When pressing this, it opens a window where I can type the message. But: the message now cannot contain character c. So, what do I need to do to get the window where you type the message and I can type any characters to my chat message?

One of the things that was so easy in IL2.

You can always configure another key than "c", for example CTRL-c or assign a free F key (Like F12 when not using (default) TrackIR).
