Same happens to me sometimes except for me it returns conv to the default of 250 yds. Seems to happen especially to pony, also pony loses fuel settings easy.

However the convergence bug happened also to my jug last night.

I'm not real sure but...it seems to me that I've had to readjust some from the default 250 out to where I like them more than once.  Then there are a couple planes that have kept my settings.  I'll know for sure after a couple days....noticed this a day or two ago and wrote down which planes I set to what.  Course I gotta get off work long enough to fly again but I'll post results lol.

ditto, i see it a lot with my d-pony. sometimes only one set gets pulled in from my 400 to 300, otehr times 3 sets push out to 600 while one is at 300, sometimes it's just fine.  no apparent pattern.

doesn't happen with nose mounted guns, like a 38 or yak, occasionally with spits, which sometimes also pops back to the .303's from the .50's i prefer.

I get the fuel bug on the P51D everytime i log in and out from the arena... it djust keeps on resetting to 25% fuel everytime... Kinda frustrating when you djust takeoff, raise your gears and then suddenly notice that you only have 25% fuel loaded, RTB :(

Havnt even tought about checking the conv.....

Happens to me when I switch between arenas.
My blue guns always go back to 250.  Fuel also gets wierd between arenas.  

Doesnt seem to happen if I log and later return to same arena, only between different arenas.

Noticed the same thing. That 25% fuel bug is real annoying to. I've lost a few Arados because of it.

25% fuel bug?  I assumed this was happening because the field I stared out at had 25% fuel and it set the current a/c to that setting.  Then when switching to another field it was actually set at the damaged one and has to be updated at the new.

Need to start looking closer at that.  Never heard of the convergence thing.  Need to check that out too.

I had this start when I switched computers and brought my old AH/settings file in on a disk from the old computer.

Settings were always changing.

Finally deleted my "settings", re-ran the install. Now this is a pain because you have to re-do a lot of stuff like keymapping, etc.

However, haven't had a problem with stuff like convergence switching since I did the re-install.

Check if your files are set to read only. This happes if you use a CD to copy or move them.
