Hope they get the livery and aircraft selection fixed soon with the next hotfix. It really annoys me to get other aircraft loaded as I have selected.

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
Sim doesn’t remember the C172 variant on reload. I select the basic c172, and after a shutdown/reload, the sim forgets and selects the cargo variant. The Change Aircraft screnn still shows the basic varient as “selected”. See video.

[PC Only] Did you remove all your community mods/add-ons? If yes, are you still experiencing the issue?

All removed, and same issue exists.

FREQUENCY OF ISSUE

Every load of the sim.
