MSFS selects Variant[0] regardless of actual livery type after restart (on FreeFlight configuration)

ISSUE DESCRIPTION

MSFS selects Variant[0] after restart even if the livery used at exit was Variant[1] (or [2] and more, probably).

However, the selection state of the button is based on the livery at exit.
In this state, if the user selects the livery[n] of Variant[1], the Variant[0]>livery[n] will be selected. (or CTDs if it does not exist)

Variant[0] : 737max BBJ, 747 Passenger, …
Variant[1] : 737max Passenger, 747 Freighter, …

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• Selecting a new livery will result in a CTD if you do not re-select the correct variant

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

I have similar experience with H125. Livery always reverts back to ‘Rescue’ variant. Select a different variant then click ‘save’ and the game CTD. Wasted 25mins of my time, so turned game off!

Thank you for the bug report.

I would “disagree” with the CTD classification.

I see this bug 100% of the time … but had 0% CTDs on my system related to such activity.

UPDATE: Let me be more precise in my comment. I would see it as two different bugs:

-A) Not restoring the previous variant+livery configs on restart
-B) CTD if for some reason “incorrect” (not matching existing sim VFS state?) variant+livery is found in a config.

Right on!

I have issue A, Not restoring the previous variant and or livery configurations on restart. In any plane or helo.
But I don’t get any CTD because of this.
(My CTD’s are completely random).

Cheers!
