Warning: angry ranting ahead. OK, I've been away for a while, alternately because my graphics setup was buggy or because I was out of the country, so I haven't been following the list for a month or two. I just came back, installed a new Nvidia card and compiled the latest FG. Works great, I was really happy. The first time I ran it at least. The second time, I discovered that FG had helpfully deleted my 200 or so line long custom preferences.xml file and replaced it with 18 lines of useless tripe.
Now, I have this backed up, but needless to say, I am *not* happy. I really like FG, but when I run a piece of software I expect the developers not to go around deleting files that I have spent quite a lot of time writing, especially not without even telling me that I am currently being screwed. This really makes me feel like I am back on a Windows machine and I find it really offensive. Now, is there a way I can run FG without losing my configuration every time? I'd really like to get back to flying and developing airplanes, but this is sort of getting in the way a little bit.
