General Discussion & Community Support Tech Talk

I need to backup my joystick settings and my saved aircraft cameras. It is not being saved to the cloud. Which files should I back up? Thanks

I don´t know about cameras as I don´t change them but controls are here:

\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\SystemAppData\wgs

You can always just backup everything inside this location to have a local copy of all settings:

\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe

Cheers

  • Aviate, Navigate, Communicate
    is where you ask for help with flying.
  • Tech Talk
    is where you discuss graphics, drivers, installation, performance, CTDs, and hardware.
