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.
