    Saving ammunition and convergence settings

    Hi i'm trying to change convergence settings and saving them for SP offline but my saved settings are not showing in the setting selector (Blitz 4.56).

    I have read that this might not be fully functional and that when saved, the changes appear in user.ini. My user.ini is not getting upodated when I save, it is only showing some settings for pilot uniform type.

    Is there any way to set my ammo/convergence per aircraft rather than have to change it for every mission?

    Thanks M

    Re: Saving ammunition and convergence settings

    Your settings should be saved for each aircraft for multiplayer and single missions (being those modified by you in the FMB, not quick missions or others)
    I am not sure if you have separate settings saved for online and single missions or not.
    It should at least work in an individual fassion for single missions and multiplayer.

    Others might have better information.

    Re: Saving ammunition and convergence settings

    Hi TCP,

    Thanks for the reply. I'm offline only and I'm trying to edit and save settings in the main menus not in FMB

    i.e. Options>Plane>Loadout>Guns>Save 'guns preset'

    Regards,

    M

    In my experience after 4.55 this option will only save what you overwrite as "custom", if type a name will appear there in Plane but not in QM plane selection.

    Join in MP server and save loadout there is more easy and less "hit and miss".

    Or better, offline use Gix Loadout Tool:

    Or StiC Loadout Utility

    https://theairtacticalassaultgroup.c...ad.php?t=11427

    Both save direct to User.ini

    Hi 1lokos,

    Thank you for the information and links, I got both the apps working and they write to user.ini but the settings don't show up in the game. Example attached:

    From user.ini:

    Code:
    [Aircraft.SpitfireMkI]
      conv _Gun03 Gun.Browning303MkII 170.992800 170.992800

      conv _Gun00 Gun.Browning303MkII 170.992800 170.992800
      conv _Gun01 Gun.Browning303MkII 170.992800 170.992800

    You can see that the convergence is totally different. if I page through each gun, the belt mix is different on each as well (they are all set the same in user.ini). What am I doing wrong?

    Best,

    Re: Saving ammunition and convergence settings

    Update - I can save the convergence in the loadout screen by repeatedly pressing save when changing the values and exiting using 'OK' not 'Back'.

    However, this information is not appearing in user.ini so it must be stored elsewhere.

    Regards,

    M

    You are using Stam Cloud for CloD?
    Maybe are saving there.

    I don't know, CloD is the only game that I play that uses Steam. How can I tell?

    Thank you
