What actually happened is that they got rid of a bunch of legacy settings in the .ini files that were leftovers from the pre-release testing times.
This happened 2-3 patches ago but steam doesn't include the documents folders in its patching routine, so it's perfectly possible to be running a current patch with outdated configuration files.
The way it seems to work is that the .ini files in the main game folder (steam\steamapps\common\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover) are used as an initial "blank" and when you run the sim they are copied over to the documents\1c softclub\il-2 sturmovik cliffs of dover folder. From that point on, whatever change you make in your controls, on-screen overlay windows and so on are stored in those .ini files within the documents folders.
The way to correct it is delete both sets of files and have steam do a file integrity check. This will pull the up to date .ini files and place them in the main game folder, then when you run the sim it will copy them to the documents sub-folder. From that point on you have updated files.
You will need to reapply your realism settings, controls and graphics options. To save you some time, it's possible to go to the controls options screen and save your keymaps to a separate file before you go about deleting and validating files. Then, after you get the new .ini files you can load that custom file back in the sim, its structure is compatible with the new .ini files, to save you the time of having to redo all your controls.
