Profile Manager

Came across this on the YT-channel of Island Sim Pilot. He developed a profile manager for MSFS 2020 and 2024. Haven't tried it myself. It looks interesting, but I wonder if MS/Asobo will eventually create something similar as part of the regular FS-updates.

IslandSimPilot Profile Manager — IslandSimPilot | Microsoft Flight Simulator

Create, organize, switch, back up, and restore Microsoft Flight Simulator settings profiles. Supports MSFS 2020 and 2024 with automatic UserCfg.opt backups, controller profiles, camera views, and streamed scenery configuration.

I followed your link. It looks to be something beneficial for someone just using the MS settings. I do not use MS settings. I have two throttle and two flight controls units, yoke and stick. MSFS's control setup it too confusing to me to keep the two throttle assemblies from interfering with each other. So, I use Axis & Ohs to set controls. It is powerful enough to handle different setups, and easy enough for me to understand.
 
Well the price is right. Bought it, but the software is definitely (at first glance) NOT easy to figure out how to use. I went to the creator's YT channel and watched his video about it. Rather than a step by step instructional video, it shows what the software does. I need to find a video that takes me through the process. Zero luck finding one yet. NC

Update: Found just such a video. Watching now:
 
Note: When you select between Profiles, Backups and Settings, standby to wait a while before your selection appears. VERY slow.

Update: I uninstalled the software. SLOW as molasses. Plus I guess one has to be able to access be able to edit xml files, which I am clueless about. But the main thing is this program is sloooooooow.

Thank you so much, Jan!

I just wanted to drop in and let you know that Profile Manager has been updated! @Navy Chief wasn't the only one to notice the slow tab switching. The app has been optimized and tab switching (and everything else) is lickity-split in v1.0.4.

I appreciate the feedback and thanks for the opportunity to join the community here!
