Some Flight Interface settings cannot be saved. They get always resetted to the default setting!

[IckyATLAS]

There is a bugged behavior that was not  in the previous versions.

The Flight Interface settings have two of them not working anymore.

At every game launch they are resetted in a default mode.

 

These are the Instrument Panel and the Mini-Map Size parameters.

Their default setting is with Instrument Panel box checked, and the Mini-Map Size set to Compact

 

I set them to Unchecked and Hidden and then I save this setting.

If I do this then when I start missions all is fine, as long as I do not exit the sim.

If I exit the sim and then relaunch it these two settings are set again in their default mode. 

 

The bug here is that the change from the default mode is not saved anymore. This is annoying because in my mission design I do not want the default modes to be.

Thanks to correct this bug.

Same issue here too.

 

Have to manually turn off minimap and instrument panel every time I start the sim. Settings are not being saved to "startup" file.

 

Any ideas ?

I confirm this issue as well. It wasn't present in earlier versions.

As explained elsewhere, that is the correct, updated behavior for the instrument panel. For the minimap, just press M twice and it shouldn't be there when you restart the game.

Unbelievable...

Perhaps a better solution (as opposed to potentially pissing off one group of customers every time they start the game) might be for the devs to add a realism setting for "start game with HUD hidden" or something like that.  That way, the group that doesn't want to see the HUD and doesn't want to have to turn it off every time they start could simply tick that box once and be done with it, while those who want to see the HUD would not be likely to tick that box "by mistake" and could keep seeing the HUD upon startup like they want.  Just a thought.
