I bought FSUIPC (4.972a) yesterday and right now I am using the Autosave option. My default plane is the A2A C172 and I fly in Prepar3D 2.0 on Windows 7 64 bit. Whenever I save a flight, the A2A addon also saves an additional file with the extension .Fa2a which contains relevant settings of the plane at that specific moment.
I noticed that the Autosave function doesn't seem to work with those files: the filenames are shortened and they don't have an extension. Here is an example of how the files look like when autosaved:
AutoSave Sat 120249.fxml
AutoSave Sat 120249.WX
AutoSave Sat 120a2a
That last one should have looked like this:
AutoSave Sat 120249.Fa2a
So everytime the last three characters from the filename itself are removed and also the dot plus the F from the extension. I hope you know what I mean. ;) This also is the case with the Previous Flight file.
Previous Flight.fxml
Previous Flight.WX
Previous Flia2a
Should this work okay or is the Autosave option not compatible somehow with the additional A2A files? Or is this maybe a P3D 2.0 problem?
A side effect of this is that when Autosaves removes old autosaves (I've set FSUIPC up to save 3 flights) those a2a files aren't removed so I end up with a lot of those files, specially since I have set Autosave to save every 3 minutes. ;)
It's not a huge problem or whatever but I was curious if something is wrong on my end or of this function of A2A simply isn't supported. (And if it isn't, maybe it may be something to add in the future?)
