Perhaps it is possible to copy the settings via WordPad (or similar programm) in the than new conf file ??

and what is so different in the new one.

As i said, to configurate the controls and infowindow is a lot of hassle with this game (i also have the complete bombercontrols mapped !) !!
And before i will do that again i want know why i should do that exactly !!


btw, if you are start a mission on the ground with a 109, is your pitch also going automaticaly and unstopable to full coarse. And than you have to set it to full fine before start ? just beeing curious.

The cloud keeps backups of your configuration files and control settings on some Steam server.

If you have messed up your conf.ini you can enable this and it will restore the backup.

However, doing so will cancel any changes you have made after the last "cloud backup" was done. This is why people lose controls.

What you can do is run the sim, go to options-->controls and click on the "save as" button. This will let you save your controls locally on your disk.

Then you can enable the cloud thing to get your conf.ini to default standards. After this is done (i guess it needs to run and exit the sim once to do it), you can turn it off again.

Finally, you can go once again to options-->controls and press the load button. You'll get a windows pop-up menu asking you where you controls file is, just point it to the location on your hard-disk where you saved it. This will restore all your controls.

Short version:

1) Save your controls from within the game interface on your hard disk
2) Exit the sim, enable cloud.
3) Run and exit the sim to "fix" your configuration files to default standards
4) Load your previously saved controls from within the game interface.

Maybe it's standard operating procedure to feather the prop before shutting everything down? This would prevent windmilling when the aircraft is parked on the ground and the wind blows, which could damage the engine or cause accidents (if the ignition remained to on by accidents).
