Not sure if it is or not, or if it'll help or not, but check your folder permissions to see if it (or any subfolders) are marked as "read only".

Yep, all folders in the AH are marked as read only.

If you mark them read/write, it should fix you right up.  Just choose the main folder, and it should cascade down through all the sub-folders and files.

Tried it, no joy!

Went to the DA, setup all my stick mappings. Saved them, went into Blue and offline and they are gone!!!!! Still no skins. Or saved stick Mappings.

No way I have the time to setup a X45 w/pro rudders everytime I want to fly or change from DA to MA. Not to mention having to sign on to FSO 1 hour early so I can map everything.

BTW.  WIN 7.

Im am having a similar problem...everything was fine for the first 5 minutes...then all stick scaling went away.....and I was locked in Radio one for x, y, z and slider....

tried everything i could think of....pulled the joystick (cyborg 3d gold...yeah...oldschool) and it seem like all i had to do was remap controllers...

5 minutes later ....lost x, y, z, and slider again and locked me back on radio1....


pizzzzzzzzzzzd.   So any suggestions?

Just for the record, I had none of these problems with 7 - 64bit.  Views, stick settings... and I also don't have to run as administrator.

I have UAC turned off, and I also have aces high installed into d:\Aces High.
I did the upgrade install, not the full install.

Just for S&G's I checked and read only is NOT enabled on that folder.

This might help you guys troubleshoot the issue.  Good luck!

I run XP and nothing but the default skins showed up in the MA last night, nothing else was there to be selected.  I did not experience any of the other problems people are reporting though.

The skins issue has been fixed.

The disappearing stick mappings have to do with a device being plugged into the USB bus, which is not a stick/input device (example, a USB headset).  This problem will be addressed in a patch, soon.

You have to be connected to an online arena long enough to get the new "skins.res" file.  Until you get that file, your skins will not be available.
