Indeed. Could be those 2 aren’t not saving.
Thank you for the Bug report on it!

The bug report is here:

So I tried with permissions for the SystemAppData folder set to deny “write”
What happens is, when the sim starts up, it displays the screens from an initial start that enable you to set your preferences. It doesn’t load any settings.
So, no this doesn’t look like a permissions issue

Hmm. Ok, if I choose the option to “repair” FS2020 from Windeos - could that help? I read some post that even reinstalling did not help this issue. So weird… I really need a fix for this asap. I cant adjust the sensitivity over and over…

@hobanagerik did “solve” the problem by setting read only for the config-file. But not sure thats a solution that will work in the long end.

This should be the path for the config file. Not sure if it really holds the sensitivty settings though…
Check out these two files from that pathj, they include nothing like sensitivty settings, right? :

Sorry for that long boring post of information in the files, I am just not sure the joystick settings are saved where I thought they were…
As for now I have no solution to this problem myself. If you have suggestion please let me know.
I found these posts regarding the settings for controllers:
https://forums.flightsimulator.com/t/backup-control-profiles/203280
I will check this out later.
Have a nice weekend! =)
Is this getting weirder? Yes it is. I can now confirm that the settings I have when opening the sim is not set by me. It’s like there is other settings out of my control. Seem to be different settings each time. What the…is going on here? Time to change password?

Another post about this problem (could all these be merged to one thread?)
