Cannot assign default preset config

On a new pc and reinstalled msfs 2024 I can see the saved control preset config but whatever I tried I cannot associate aircraft to specific control config.
After exiting the sim it will revert back to default configs which is quite annoying.
Anyone seeing similar?

Did you click the right or left arrow on the Preset?

Yes I did use left/right to select the preset. I even tried the “set as default” and “apply to all aircraft”. But whatever I do after closing and restarting the simulation it reverts back to per-installed presets.

For example I add one axis to tail rotor and create new preset “helicopter controls”. I click save and back and it works.

But when I exit the sim and start again it reverts back to none :frowning:

I guess there is something wrong with my cloud controls profile but how can I reset only this without affecting my logbook and career?

From what I have seen, when you enter Controls, the program displays the 3 Presets that were displayed when you last exited Controls.

I have no experience with Logbook and Career.

It’s getting crazy I uninstalled and reinstalled but problem persists.

I followed your actions:
Made new Helicopter Profile
Assigned Rotor axis to my stick.
Save and Back
Quit to Desktop
Started FS2024

Control still there.

Must be a cloud problem.

I’m having a similar issue with the Steam version.
I set up my various key bindings for different aircraft. Everything has saved and all is great. A couple of days later, a few of my bindings have either been deleted or they’ve been replaced by the default bindings.
Only explanation that I can think of. Is that now and then some of the bindings aren’t being read from the cloud. So they are being assigned back to default?

Did you check if the preferred preset is still assigned? In my case after the reinstall to a new computer and download of the profile this problem appeared.
I am tempted to delete my profile but I will lose the career progress. I am looking if there is a way to reset controls.

The cloud saving of the presets works but the association fails.

Maybe I’m misunderstanding what you are getting at, but in your first picture you have the mouse selected on the Devices List and in the second picture you have the T.Hotas Warthog Throttle selected.

Delete the cloud saved profiles is my understanding.

I uploaded the wrong screenshot :slight_smile:

How can I do this?

I modified some files under

C:\Users<user>\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\SystemAppData\wgs

and ended up losing my logbook+career but the control presets are stored and assigned properly now. :grinning:

Not sure about this method, but, the method from the link below has corrected my control presets not being kept after a sim restart. It deleted my logbook but it did NOT delete my career, which is great, and my main concern.

Hi Everyone,

My issue is the inability to define the preset config file for my winning warthog throttle HOTAS and F16 Joystick to even have a default config. within the Winwingapp it says it cannot find the default config file. does it have anything to do with it having been put into a file labeled 'xboxgames? This is all PC-based Q’s and I did buy from the MS store. Any insight would be sincerely appreciated given the time I’m taking hen pecking bindings manually :slight_smile:
