Am I going to loose my Head placing
« on: January 18, 2010, 05:56:15 PM »
So my computer went T.U. on me.  My question is am I going to loose all of my saved head spaces, when I come back into game later on tonight?  Am I going to have to reset all of my joystick button assignments?  Are they saved in my Profile in game or in my computer?  I am still trying to get all of the updates and all of the old programs back to this new thing.  I am having fits with 7, but I will get it all together so that I can get on tonight.

To the best of my knowledge all your preferences; head positions, joystick mappings, etc. are all stored locally.  So if you're hard drive is kaput and there isn't a back up someplace then yes you would have to reset them all manually.

When you get everything set up again copy your AH "settings" folder and keep it safe somewhere.

I make it a point to email my SETTINGS folder to myself every few months ish.

Hi. Sorry about your loss. Here's a link to Murdr's saved head positions - I used them a bit before I got trackIR - they worked well.

Just save em in the \settings\planes folder.

Hope this helps you get back on track a bit.  :salute

Rebuilt now all I need to do is get all the planes I dont use very often, and get with someone who can help get the frame rate up.
