Assistance options get reset to default on every startup

I just installed the SU14 beta

First thing i noticed: all my assistance options were reset to defaults (easy).

This should not happen with an update, even if new settings (ATC following runway selection from Flightplan) are introduced.

Edit: the assistance settings get reset to “easy” on every startup. Changes are not remembered.

Same here.

Pretty standard for settings, not just Assistance, to be changed during an update, World or Sim, regardless of whether it “should” or not. That’s why we’re “advised” to empty Community Folder and clear scenery cache before updating. Some get away with it, others not.
Been happening since the beginning, just another example of the instability (still!) of the programme.

Same here and after reloading the sim after applying the settings, then closing the sim it reset all back to easy. Just tried for the 2nd time also and they all reverted back to easy,

Update 31/10 this evening just tested this with just FSLTL base nothing else and everything reset, then i re emptied the cf changed everything back then installed the navigraph files from the navigraph hub and all setting stayed the same

Yes, its even worse than just resetting on install.

Even after applying my own settings again and saving them, they get reset to default “EASY” on next startup.

+1 - same issue as described

Can confirm settings get reset back to easy on every restart of the sim.

I edited the title to reflect better that this is more than just the usual “loss of personal settings on an update” .

This seems to happen with a lot of beta tests and/or updates and it seems to overwrite an fs.base file. I’ll see which file it overwrites and maybe try to find a cause

Yes, but not at every restart.

When I first downloaded the Beta, exited MSFS and restarted it, my settings were NOT reset. However, after I exited and restarted, my startup hung on the Install screen. I forced a close on MSFS and came back in, and guess what, mine were reset too. I know I’ve read here that if your startup takes a long time then you could be succeptible to this problem.
