Note: This is useful for quick and dirty testing but I would suggest learning how to write to the documents directory of your app and then using Finder to find the files there. An example path to an application's document directory in the simulator is:

The simulator emulates a sandboxed application, but since it's on your Mac, you can access the directory in which the application and all its files are stored. So, in your app, if you can figure out how to write the data to a file (within the app's sandbox), then you can use the Finder to locate the directory and locate the file. Does this help or am I missing something?

I do not believe that currently, there is anything for MSFS that will allow you to take a SNAPSHOT of where you are, and all your aircraft settings etc, with the purpose of being able to re-load that back again into the sim, and be EXACTLY where you were, when you took that Snapshot.

Since flying takes a lot of precious time, I dont have enough time to sit and fly the entire route. I was wondering is it possible to save in mid flight and then load the save and resume exactly from where I left off without any problems? This would...

I am not saying it would not be ideal is everything could be saved by the sim itself, but technically that may not be so easy, especially when developed add additional systems that Asobo may not be aware of.

Hi. In early versions of MSFS2020, you could save your start configuration (aircraft, takeoff airport, etc, etc) and then recall it to start over. Even pause a flight and save the position to continue later. It seems that this option has been removed, or moved to somewhere where I have not been able to find it. Thanks.

You're right in noting that saving and recalling flight setups was a feature in earlier versions of MSFS2020. Fortunately, it hasn't been removed but has just undergone a few changes in terms of access and execution. I'm happy to guide you through the process of saving and loading your flight configurations in the latest version of Microsoft Flight Simulator (2020 release).

Can someone tell me if there is a way of saving my flights mid-flight?? I like doing the longer flights. I want to be able to reload flights from where I left off.I may be being a complete muppet here if there is a way of saving....

Here's a challenge for you to consider, that I'm currently doing :ABANDON THE 'SAVE FLIGHT' BUTTON !What I'm talking about is not periodically saving every flight that you fly just in case you crash :evil: I do this too much.. even though I d...

Hey!I've been setting up again my FS9, and I did it three times, and I could not find my FS9.CFG, nor even the FS9 folder, which should be in the Documents and Settings folder somewhere.I only find the Flight Simulator Files including flight files, bu...

I've worked out how to do repaints and get them working in FS9, but the file sizes are one to two megs, whereas the original ones were only a few hundred kb. Can someone tell me if I'm saving everything right? This is what I'm doing:1) Convert origi...

Hi,Can anyone tell me how to load up a fully saved flight from FS2004 ? I don't mean saving and loading a FLIGHT PLAN, I mean a full flight... I don't know if this is possible but surely it is ! I was flying a long-haul flight and clicked 'Alt' to...

Hi i decided to reinstall msfs after not using it for six months did a fresh install. started it up got the opening screen asking what setting i wanted and did all that saved it. So i went and did some flying and finish shut the sim down. came back later and i got the opening screen again asking me what setting i wanted to us also it didn't my joystick settings. i have uninstalled it and reinstalled it's still the same. is there a fix for this?

Please someone help I'm having this issue now, MSFS fresh install (recently went to windows 11) no matter what I do setting will not save I've set all package files to not be read only including doing usercfg etc manually but every time the sim loads it makes me go through the new user wizard on every load and none of the settings are remembered. I even deleted all cfg files to try starting a fresh with no luck please help.

Try Xbox app, files / fix. I had this problem too. The Xbox app downloaded 1.4G or 2.0G file and it did reset cloud connection. Your settings are most likely stored in the cloud too. This should solve your settings problem.

Zendesk advised me to uninstall MSFS, manually delete a couple of left over files in the AppData folder (basically delete every reference to MSFS on my PC) and then reinstall. That process took a full day - but did work. On reinstall, my settings were then saved after the first and subsequent session/

Thank you both for your suggestions, kto your suggestion was pretty close I looked at the cloud sync and no matter what I did it wouldn't sync/update then I realised it was like I wasn't signed in and signing in button wouldnt work, so then I thought to check services, all xbox and live services were disabled...

windows start, type services, start; xbox live networking, xbox live game save, xbox live auth management, xbox accessory management. suggest setting them to automatic too by right clicking them and going to properties.

For those that still cant get FS2020 to save settings here is a fix I found (see link). It started because I decided I was going to dedicate another PC to FS 2020 but retain the game on my original PC. After the install and subsequent reinstalls I had the same issue, forums were pointing me the "Gaming Services" needing updates etc. Microsoft have now changed the control/install etc from "windows store" to the xbox app and is not directly a "Gaming Services" issue. Other tricks were to add Keys to Regedit.

The issue was the xbox.app, for whatever reason only known to Microsoft some of the xbox.app "Services" were turned off not allowing "Gaming Services" to download your settings from the cloud hense having to set everything up every time you started FS2020. A week later I stumbled onto this little gem and all is now running on both machines .... PHEW

First of all, using writefinal followed by readns is a bad way of doing this, because it doesn't completely capture the state (even if you use skipdc=yes in the second simulation). More on that in a moment.

The default setup for a transient analysis in ADE will set writefinal=spectre.fc on the State File tab of the transient options. The file is written into the netlist directory (which is the working directory when the simulator is launched). This is still the case and nothing has changed. You can of course change the file name to something else, and it will have an effect. My guess is that you're looking at the spectre.fc file in the wrong location.

The correct way of doing this is to use the Save/Restart parameters on the same State File tab. You can choose a file name, and either specify a specific time (or set of times), or have it saved automatically periodically in simulation time (saveperiod) or on wall clock time, i.e real time, using saveclock. See "spectre -h tran" for more details. You then can use the recover field to recover from a previous state file; it will automatically restart at the time the file was saved at, and it stores the full state (including internals of various models and so on) and shouldn't suffer from discontinuities, nor need you to mess with skipping the DC operating point as you have to do with writefinal/readns (or readic).

If it is helpful at all, I assembled a set of specific instructions with examples of using the various options this issue has been raised a number of times and appears to be a source of confusion. If you are invested kenc184, I've placed the note is at URL:

I will also add that there is an example of the error that can be present when one uses the final transient operating point to restart the simulation in lieu of saving the circuit state. To save you or anyone with an interest some time, I've included Figure 14 from the note below.

First of all, thanks for posting your document - always good to have real life guides from somebody other than me! I'm also going to caveat what I'm saying here by reiterating that the writefinal/readns/readic approach is the wrong way to do this (as I said before). Now...
