Unable to edit .ini

[Dreamflight767]

Hello:

I'm trying to edit the .ini using w/ notepad but the changes aren't saving.  I'm trying to manually configure a button which I want two actions for.  I save the .ini, close it, load the MSFS but the actions don't work.  So, I open the .ini and see it's reverted back to the previous configuration.

Thanks.

Please close this.  I was able to edit by saving a copy of the .ini, made changes and copied those changes to the saved copy and pasting into my FSUIPC folder.

Thanks!

Your assignments are always saved to the ini file. If this is not happening, then it could be due to windows (or anti-virus) protection on the FSUIPC7 installation folder. Check that you have not installed into a windows-protected folder such as Documents or Program Files.

Note that if you are editing the ini file manually, you should do this either with FSUIPC not running, or for editing button and assignments sections, you can have FSUIPC running but with the assignment panel already open, then make your changes and click the Reload all buttons or Reload all assignments button. If you  manually change the ini and then open an assignments panel, your changes will be overwriiten.
