Restoring view presets after update

[dunbar]

Hi guys,

is there any chance to restore my view presets after updating IXEG? It is annoying to set all of them every time this beautifull bird is updated...

Sorry, I am afraid there isn´t. The preference file was changed (because we added more options) so the old version could not be retained.

This may be different for future updates, though.

Cheers, Jan

Thank you very much for your quick reply, Jan.

What I do is create my own views based on the native X-Plane commands, that way I don't have to re-do the views after updating.

Hmm, I'm afraid I don't understand this entirely. Storing views is basic X-Plane functionality through NumPad keys, but this is logged with each aircraft folder and after update it is reset. If there is no possibility to copy old preference file to updated acf folder, then I don't see other option. Can you explain what did you mean by native X-Plane commands? Thank you.

I presume there is a confusion here?

 

IXEG_user_prefs.txt is the file updated/modified by IXEG to incorporate new features added

B733_prefs.txt is the xplane quick_look feature (numpadkeys). Make a copy of this and place it back after an update

 

hope this helps

Exactly right, that's what I meant!
