Good evening I write here because it seems to me the appropriate section.

Days ago during the programming of my FMC I noticed that when I closed the program, despite the warning window that tells me that there have been unsaved changes and asks if I want to save them (answer YES) every time I reopen many saves there were not more. I wrote about it and I was suggested to format the memory of the Mega, done but ... I noticed that it persisted. :scared:
I noticed that the devices were present but in the programming tab they lose part of the data and therefore I reinserted them.

I saved by clicking on the "save" button but if I then left the session and re-entered the next day the bailouts were lost again. I realized that keeping a button or LED programming window open, clicking on the "save" button would disappear the programming, :mad:

how is this possible?

Hi

Please Confirm your Save File is located in a "FREE" Folder.
If you try to Save files in protected fodlers like "programmfiles x86" this can not work.

First Aid:

1. Run Mobiflight (and Sim) as ADMIN
2. Install Mobiflight ( and ALL other Sim related programms) in non protectd folders..... Perfectly in a own Harddisc or Partition
Good Luck !

OK....

So if i understand correct problem are the settings in Config Lines..... NOT the Devices.
Configs are only saved on Harddisc..... So a Reset of Mega and EPROM Clear make no sense here.


Can you reproduce the problem with a new empty file , too ? Or maby can you reproduce the situation with multiple different MCC Files.....
OR
Is the problem just with your current project File ?

*****

If problem can be rebuild also with a empty file then we have a bigger Bug.
If problem is only in your current File then i would say you "kill" your file by a misstake.

Hopefully you got lots of backups from different phases of your building..... Then you can swap back to the point where the issue no longer occures. So you just need to rebuild all config lines since this point.
If you have no backups then its verry problematic.

In theory its possible to "repair" a file..... But this can take lots of hours.... But sure if your lucky and you see the issue within 10 seconds then this is more profitable as write all configs once again.
Good Luck !
