Easy Communication turns on every time DCS starts

[Kreutzberg]

I think this is only since 2.9.6.58056, but it could have started earlier. Whenever I start DCS, the "Easy Communication" box under "Gameplay" is checked. I can uncheck it (and hit OK) and get regular communications, but restarting DCS results in that box being checked again. Some missions don't work at all when the box is checked, even when using full communications procedures.  

Are others encountering this issue?

Thanks.

Known issue if you using the launcher. It will always set  "Easy Communication on. Also messes with the "mirror on" option.

You will need to uncheck on every launch if you continue to use the launcher (until the next patch).

Or just disable the launcher.

Thank you--glad to hear it's not just me! I haven't been using mirrors so am not seeing that part of it. Disabling the launcher for now definitely works.

After running some testing, I'm seeing after each reset "Simplified Flight Model," "Cockpit Visual Recon Mode," "Mini HUD," "Mirrors," and "Hide Control Stick" reset to off; "Easy Communication" and "F10 Map User Marks" resets to on; and everything else in "Gameplay" seems to work just fine.

I checked to see if there was some sort of "settings" lua file that no longer had permission to be edited, which I couldn't find, and ran Steam and DCS as administrator, which made no difference. It seems to be the same whether I use VR or 2D, Multithread or Steam. The override in the Mission Editor seems to still be remembered and working.

At least setting up my gameplay options at the beginning of my gaming session stays checked until I quit out.

This appears to be fixed in today's patch, 2.9.7.58923. I checked easy communications and mirrors, though not everything listed by @Drewbacca!
