SupraJari Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 I have custom view saved for every numpad key, but I lose them everytime Saab is updated. Is there a way to save and get those views back after update? Yep, I can do them again, but I'm very happy with my current setup and would like to "save" it.

SupraJari Posted March 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Thanks I googled it but most sites talked about saving the views with Ctrl-<numpadkey>. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milan Bogicevic Posted March 23, 2021 Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 There is also freeware x-camera that offers ui for creating camera presets and more. It saves csv file in AC folder that will persist through updates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraJari Posted March 23, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2021 Yes I know x-camera and tried that while back, but it wasn't "my cup of tea"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vostflyer Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 In each of your S340a aircraft subfolders (Airborne, Cargo, Passenger), there is a *_prefs.txt file. Your view assignments get saved to those files. So after setting up your views and exiting XP, copy those 3 files somewhere safe, e.g. Desktop. Then, following an update, you can copy them back to the aircraft sub-folders, overwriting the defaults if necessary. If any (future) update changes the aircraft CG, then I believe you would need to re-assign the views. That's an X Plane thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Markkku Posted March 24, 2021 Report Share Posted March 24, 2021 The easiest way (quick and dirty) is to make a copy of your LES_Saab_340A_prefs and LES_Saab_340A_Cargo_prefs found in your X-aviation Saab 340A / Passanger Variant or Cargo Variant folders before updating... After updating just copy and paste back to these folders. Hope this helps you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
