State saving isn't working
-
Hello, it seems sometimes state saving isn't working. When I start a new plane I sometimes see that buttons are in their default positions and not the position I left them. Same for the starter key I can found hanging on the altimeter button and not in the starter where I left it.

@Darth-Patzer How long did you wait after shutting down the aircraft before returning to the main menu?

@Black-Square Impossible to say. You mean I go back to fast to the main menu ? I'll check that.

@Darth-Patzer Possibly. All the parameters are saved on a rolling basis, so approximately one minute is required for all items to save.

Do you have to stay in the aircraft for state saving to work or is it only when you quit to the main menu? As I open the doors and "get out" in VR for a wander but that's usually less than a minute after fully shutting down.
@MarcG Just returning to the main menu.

Where exactly does the state get saved? Is it a JSON file somewhere on my local file system, or somewhere in the FS2024 cloud infrastructure?
@SteveKane Cloud, unfortunately.

I was also getting inconsistent state saving, but after reading this thread... I now wait 1 minute before ending the flight, after making any changes to the aircraft, and the state saving has been flawless. Bravo! Best GA aircraft in MSFS24 in my opinion. I can't wait until this fantastic state saving gets added to the Dukes.

I made my first 'proper' flight in MSFS 2024 today, continuing my Duke adventures with Air Hauler 2. I'm planning to switch from 2020 at last as 2024 seems to run well enough for me now.
Although I use a little utility called AircraftState to help save as many variables as possible in any aircraft, I was interested to see what happened with the Duke's own state.cfg file after reading of the issues here.
I loaded into the sim at about 16:00. When I landed and was ready to quit at about 17:20, I went into the directory where the state.cfg file is saved. It still had a timestamp of 16:00 on it. I tried toggling an option or two in the tablet in case changing a parameter could trigger it to update and save. Nothing happened.
So, I ended the flight. As soon as I was back at the world map, the state.cfg updated with new fuel values and Hobbs hours etc. So it can/does work in some cases. I'll be keeping an eye on it for sure as I get used to 2024's foibles.
