Title: Strange files accumulating (AH\Settings\)
Post by: SC-Mutt on October 02, 2003, 07:32:31 PM

Howdy folks;

I'm curious about some files that keep showing up in my :  ~\Aces High\settings folder.

Usually only a few bytes in size and apparently temporary in nature, they don't seem to affect anything in a bad way.

Once discovered, I removed the first group of about 40 to a temp folder, and found that it had no effect on the game. After that I began deleting them as part of my "pre-defrag" cleanup routine.

the filename allways begins with a lower case:  w and l , ( W, L ),  then 1 or 2 numbers, and a:  ".pwl"  file extention.

example:  "wl71.pwl"  

So, Can someone tell me what these files are for?  And more importantly;  Can you make them 'self deleting' ?

Thanks;
S!

There is 1 for each plane you fly, it is to save the last loadout you used for that plane.
