Multiple User Profiles?

[sidneyschwartz]

First, thanks for sharing the program. It's obvious that a great deal of work has gone into it.

As far as I can tell, the only way to set up multiple user profiles would to make modified copies of user.cfg saved under different names, and then change the name of the one you want to use to user.cfg. Is that the case, or is there a way to select from multiple user profiles in the program? 

The reason I'll need multiple user profiles is, for one, due to the differences in how autopilots work, especially in planes of different eras. With some autopilots, engaging the ALT function means "climb to the preset altitude", while in others it means "level off immediately". So I will need one profile for planes with the former type of autopilot, and a different one for planes that use the latter.

I'm sure I'll have more questions as I go along. I'll try not to be too annoying.

Good idea...I'll add this option in v2.4

Thanks, Matthew.

Never mind. The light bulb just went on over my head and I realized the Options tab allows some of the user profile parameters to be changed at flight time. This will probably suffice.

Let me know, we can always add for mult profile options

At this point I'm thinking multiple profiles are probably not needed. I'm still getting familiar with the program and experimenting with the various settings. Any program with this number of variables is going to have a bit of a learning curve. Years ago I used Flight Deck Commander and it was true of that as well. As far as I'm concerned FSFO has already proven worth the effort. I'm still tweaking and learning, but after making the first full flight with the program I'm very happy with it. Great work!
