Where to load a .joy file?

Question

Hello,

after every similar update xp11 has lost the joystick configuration. I saved a .joy file with my setup. But i dont find a button to load this file. Xplane force me to recalibrate and reset the buttons. Where do i have to load the file?

regards,
christian

The .joy file format is simply to provide defaults as a starting point for setting up common hardware. If you are overwriting the .joy file provided by LR, the installer will want to overwrite it for every update. We do not recommend that you overwrite the default .joy files.

If you modify the joystick set up, that will be saved separately in your preferences files and won’t be overwritten. 

Note that all joystick files, including preferences, were reset between pb1 & pb2 due to the amount of bug fixes we implemented.
