    Just when you think you have everything running some what better...

    You get a message from the Hosting company. Short story they need to move us to a new server. I have been working with them to plan a good date for all concerned. Here is what we have come up with as a schedule.

    1. November 4th 17:00 -5UTC shut off the forums and start backup proceedures. During this time there will be no access to the forums or the Resource Section.
    2. November 5th Continue with Backups and download same until complete.
    3. November 6th 7:00 turn over server to hosting company to move system to new server
    4. November 7th - 8th restore backups and upgrade forum software.

    If all goes well we should be back online on November 8th.

    To keep you updated we will post updates on AVSIM forums.

    Thank you for your support.

Controller settings file location?

Does anyone know where the controllers settings file might be located? I've spent a good portion of today trying to get things running after the mistake of trying safe mode to launch yesterday. I'm debating on trying a re-install, but really don't want to have to re-map my HOTAS and Rudders...
BTW, my STRONGEST recommendation is to avoid using safe mode at all cost.

My impression is that it is in the cloud. Any modification to the bindings takes forever to load and save and can change or just disappear. Bindings are a major frustration. I can only wish they were on our computers.
 
The controller settings are stored locally, I have the them in folder:

%LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\SystemAppData\wgs

For Steam users, the folder may be different. Anyway, the settings are encrypted, you cannot edit them with Notepad like FSX/P3D. The only thing you can do with these files is do a backup.
 
If you select your controller and then aircraft type (I have separate control configurations for aircraft & helicopters, etc.), click on the little gear icon, giving you the option to export/import your settings file. I discovered this by accident, and it's a Godsend should you need to reset your computer.
