ISSUE DESCRIPTION

Description of the issue:
Several controller profiles I created can’t be changed or deleted anymore. E.g. I created a profile called “none” for which I deleted all assignments. Afterwards I wanted to add one new assignment but now it asks me to create a new profile. And I can’t delete the created “none” profile.

I thought the profile called ‘none’ was one of the embedded default ones - so you cant delete it?

Thanks for your feedback. When I first started up the SIM, I only had one profile per peripheral with the name of the peripheral (e.g. Warthog HOTAS Joystick 2024) - and I created those “none” profiles for which I removed everything. Now probably half of those “none” profile can’t be changed or deleted anymore (some even got duplicated). Maybe they introduced “none” profiles later and this is now colliding with “my” none profiles. Probably the case if nobody else experience that bug.

I certainly have profiles called none in mine …and I did not create them.

Thanks! That would explain why I have duplicated “none” profiles - probably one created by me and the other one a system default none profile (which weren’t there on day 1). Thanks!

I have the same problem - I am not able to delete custom device profiles I created with different names (not “none”)

Thanks for the feedback. I actually switched back to 2020, but I also had the same issue with profiles not named “none”. Just one of many bugs - which I hope are fixed in 1-2 years (like 2020 which also required a few years to run smoothly…:wink:

Same here… I´m not able to delete custom created and named controls profile (keyboard). After try to delete sim crash down. This happens from launch, have tried after many clean installs etc.
