"Aircraft Has Eyebrow Windows" not Saving / Loading at Startup in v1.5.0 / 1.5.1

[Torbinator]

Hi, I have been selecting the choice I have the eyebrow windows and then hit save. However, when I relaunch the sim, the eyebrow windows are plugged. 

I then bring up the Preferences and see that the box to have eyebrow windows is in fact checked, and the eyebrow windows get unplugged.

It seems as though the saved preferences are not loading at start up and require the window be relaunched.

I can not confirm on my end. Have you checked if your preference files have write permission for your OS?

See attached to what I assume you're speaking of. I also tried opening the setting file, changing the IXEG_user_prefs.txt file's line number 37 from "eye_brows = 0" to "eye_brows = 1", and hitting SAVE. However relaunching sim starts off with eye brows plugged, file shows "eye_brows = 0". 

Other preferences do stay saved. For instance, switching between steam gauges and EFIS sizes do stay reconfigured with subsequent relaunches.

I also double checked to ensure that X-Plane 12 folder has been excluded from threat protections.

You want the other one at the top

This is a bug....Note that the IXEG 737 is getting "remodeled" under the hood, to handle future improvements.  So some of our systems are "in migration" from old tech to new.  Preferences is one of those systems and I obviously missed this pref.  I'll be looking to get this cleaned up quite quick.
