Is it on the same aircraft or on different aircraft? I noticed that each aircraft has its own EFB configuration. Which in theory makes sense. If it is on different aircraft, I believe the action is correct.

Some settings are indeed persisted but these ones get forgotten always. In the same plane or chopper.

Plus German translation of “Volume” is wrong. Should be “Volumen” instead of “Lautstärke”. Lautstärke literally means “volume” - but in the way of “volume level” (sound)…

I’ve noticed this too. There is no saving of EFB preferences. In my case on a 4k screen the EFB is tiny so I usually go for med or large, but it never remembers this between flights or sim sessions. It would be good if it remebered these things. Just a QOL isssue.

Yes… everytime I need to reconfigure the EFB.

Cruise altitude always resets too.

Also the main map settings don’t save either. Have to turn heliports off every time.

Yes this is very annoying. Really wish it remembered the last tablet size that was selected in the settings.

saving parameters is absolutely essential. Voted

Also worth to mention: The size (small/medium/large) and layout (vertical/horizontal) is not persisted either.
