Not recognizing Profile Specific

[airernie]

Flying the Majestic Q400, Windows 11, FSX:Steam.  Profile Specific setting is recognized when Axis Assignment is selected, but not Buttons + Switches.  I check the box, set my button, select FS Control, and choose the action and it works immediately after I exit the FSUIPC interface.

However, when I reopen FSUIPC4 or the next time I load the aircraft the profile specific check is empty and it doesn't recognize my aircraft.   BTW,, Axis Assignment does see it.. 

Thanks,
Ernie

Note that the axis and button assignments dialogs work differently when it comes to profiles. When an airraft is using a profile for axes, the profile will always be shown in the axes assignment dialog box and the profile-specific checkbox is checked. For button assignments, you have to manually check the profile-specific checkbox to see the profile-specific assignments, as the general button assignments also apply unless overwritten.

If you think the profile-specific button assignments are not working, please also attach a log showing this, with logging for Buttons & Switches activated.

You should also update your profile-specific aircraft names to use substrings to catch more variants. So, for example, change:
