Autosave AlsoManage


Recommended Posts

Hi Pete,

With the release of the PMDG NGX I find myself in the position of needing to add more entries to the AlsoManage settings of the Autosave portion of the FSUIPC4.ini, the problem is according to the documentation there is a limit of 9 entries in this list. I am already using 7 of these slots because of the PMDG MD11 alone, is there any possibility you can increase this number of slots please Pete?

For anyone else reading this who isn't sure what to place in the Autosave section of the FSUIPC4.ini this below is what is required to keep the Autosave file quantities down to the number of saves specified in the autosave section of FSUIPC.

AlsoManage1=PMDG\PMDG 737 NGX\PanelState\*.FLT.fmc
AlsoManage2=PMDG\PMDG 737 NGX\PanelState\*.FLT.sav

If you don't include this snippet above and you use Autosave with the NGX you will end up with thousands of orphaned files in the folder PMDG\PMDG 737 NGX\PanelState and they will all show up in the NGX load panel state page in the NGX FMC which is sure to crash it eventually.

Perhaps you could post this with a suitable title in the User Contributions subforum, please, so it doesn't get lost?

Thanks!

Pete

Will you be able to increase the number of also manage entries to more than 9 or is a big job? You never made any mention of that in your reply to me, thanks.

Ah, sorry. I missed that.

It shouldn't be a problem -- I'll have a look.

Okay, I'll increase it to 32 max (1-32). Only in FSUIPC4 though, not FSUIPC3.

Look out for version 4.722 later today.

[LATER AGAIN]

4.722 is uploaded. 4.721 is dead. ;-)

Regards

Pete

Cheers Pete, I've also made a post in the User Contributions forum section too as you suggested, I also missed out an entry too, three lines are needed for the NGX not two, it should actually look like the below.

AlsoManage1=PMDG\PMDG 737 NGX\PanelState\*.FLT.fmc
AlsoManage2=PMDG\PMDG 737 NGX\PanelState\*.FLT.sav
AlsoManage3=PMDG\PMDG 737 NGX\PanelState\*.FLT.0.rte
