(Semi) Dynamic Campaign: JG 51

[NedLynch]

The campaigns are unaffected, just the realism settings and control input were reverted to default.
I ran the not-mod but proper add-on , did the first mission and just to see what happens with steam cloud, exited the game, restarted, restrated the first mission and my realism settings were reverted to default as was the control input, which of course is not a big deal, just reloaded my control settings.
Going to try and run the game now, didn't have a chance yet tonight, and let's see what happens with steam cloud disabled.

Did you have Steam cloud off when you ran it the first time? It could be that when you turned it on, it copied over your settings with the settings it has, which would be the default, if it wasn't on before. My suggestion is to turn automatic updates and Steam cloud on, start IL-2, configure your settings, and then exit IL-2. That should save your settings and controls to the Steam cloud, so it won't overwrite them.

I did have steam cloud on when I ran the original game the first time and I had steam cloud on when I ran the add-on the first time. I ran the add-on, exited the game, re-entered the game and the settings were reversed to default, realism and controls.
Now with steam cloud off no reversal of settings.

Running win7 64 bit btw.

I am going to re-enable steam cloud, do my settings, apply/save my settings and then see what happens.

That is strange. Unfortunately, I don't know what you could do about it. Hopefully, it was just a one time thing.

[NedLynch]

It seemed to have been a one time thing, now with steam cloud and automatic updates enabled everything is fine.

Keep up the good work, you and all the guys who program contend for the game enrich the experience for everybody.

Glad it worked out for you. As for your suggestions, it would certainly be possible to allow the player to select their aircraft before starting the campaign. It's possible to create custom GUI pages for the game, but I haven't had much time to look into it. When I'm happy with the state of this campaign, the first thing I'll do is look into making it more customizable.

Sorry, forgot one minor detail.
It would also be nice if one could "manually" take off, since right now the AI will only follow you if you take off with the autopilot, but like I said just a minor thing.

Just fyi, after starting the game a couple more times all settings remain the same, so no clue what was going on there.
