server bans

I'm only banned on ONE server, Dagger...

 

And even if some DCS players would be using more than 1 account to "bypass bans", maybe they have quite good reasons, have you ever considered that?

A simpler and much quicker solution would be to set up a separate Windows user account for your brother. That way your and your brother’s DCS settings would be kept separate.

its probably being ignored because it is not a bug and your call for help in in the bugs section. either way @Ironhand is spot on. the reason why special settings are going away is because the settings are saved in saved games for your account. https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/create-a-local-user-or-administrator-account-in-windows-10-20de74e0-ac7f-3502-a866-32915af2a34d

fair enough. semantics are great. use the link i provided and your 'problem' is solved. you also will no longer be frustrated about your messed up settings, at least. this will also effectively let one get around server bans until the new account gets banned. good luck

why are you assuming that a new account will get banned?

i am not assuming anything. just mentioning that it is possible. by the way when you do create a new account, so your brother can use the sim, make sure you use a good password only known to you.

Sorry, I should've edited it earlier, the brother-thing was a joke back then, as I was insanely frustrated that we still don't have official realistic ED PvP servers and that instead PvP server admins can ban anyone they simply don't like.

i get it. some server admins do the admin thing because they like the power. best way to beat them is don't go on their server. there is no point in those people. but on the otherhand don't try to fight with them either. they don't like to be wrong and their childlike tendencies come out. good luck to you and your 'brother' /s 🙂

special INS-setting "pre-aligned" for Harrier is reset again to "unaligned".

Set up your settings for each account, you can launch with a different saved game folder each time, search the forums for the answer.
