MockTurtle Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 just noticed that since latest MSFS patch my graphics settings don't seem to stick. got advice from the MSFS forum to switch off FSUIPC. so tried that, and voila... it now remembers my graphics setting changes. not sure if this is a bug or maybe there's a a step/setting in fsuipc i've missed? i've got the steam version if that makes a difference.

John Dowson Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 This seems very strange - I'm not sure why FSUIPC would prevent MSFS from saving your graphics settings. There is certainly no setting in FSUIPC that can control this. Where did you get this advise from in the forums - can you share the link please?

MockTurtle Posted October 4, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 hi john. here's the link. i've tried/tested it on my setup and yeah, fsuipc seems to be ''blocking' my setting changes. i've only noticed this since the japan patch.

Thomas Richter Posted October 4, 2020 Report Share Posted October 4, 2020 Hi, changing Graphics settings while FSUIPC7 saves correct and remembers correctly the settings when restarting MSFS. Also all Graphics settings from Vers. 1.8.3.0 haven't been changed with installation of vers. 1.9.3.0. I use the STEAM version. Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very strange. There is nothing in FSUIPC7 that could prevent this - its only a SimConnect client as far as MSFS is concerned. I'll do some more tests and maybe report to Asobo.

The problem was that FSUIPC7 was keeping the UserOpt.cfg file open after reading, preventing it from being updated. @Thomas Richter spotted this - thanks!

MockTurtle Posted October 9, 2020 Author Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 thanks so much! can confirm graphics settings now get saved. i think an unrelated but similar msfs bug though: i don't think their tickbox for inverting joystick axis works. it moves in the opposite direction no matter what. in any case i just use fsuipc to map & reverse my throttle axis. thanks again!
