Difficulty Setting Menu 411.1

[JtD]

That's new to me. Do you have a steam or a DVD version?

I have the DVD version 408. Patched to 409 to 410 to 410.1 to 411 to 411.1. I have a copy of each version. Difficulty settings work fine through version 410.1 (re-tested each). Does not work correctly with the expanded Difficulty setting in 411 and 411.1.

Odd, I'm at a loss, sorry.

Check, if your config file isn't read-only

Thanks to the hint by SaQSoN I resolved the problem. Having the Conf file "read-only" has no effect but having the Users settings file does. I keep my Users settings file "read-only" to retain braking on both rudder pedals. If my Users settings file is not "read-only", the Users settings file will default back to braking on one pedal when IL2 is exited. IL2 does not support dual braking.

I removed the "read-only" from my Users settings file, opened IL2, made my "Difficulty Setting" changes, closed IL2, re-opened IL2 and verified my "Difficulty Setting" changes were retained. I then needed to amend my Users settings file to return my braking on both rudder pedals.

I believe "Difficulty Settings" are maintained in the following part of the User settings file...

[difficulty]
single=275106166015
net=16971007

I do not know how to interpet the numbers. Anyway I now know how to deal with "Difficulty Setting" changes. It would be great if braking for each pedal support could be added to IL2.

Thanks
