When I went into the custom menu for TS and GR there were numbers already in the fields that did not correspond to my setup. I think this is where a lot of people get confused thinking they can "Check" theirs.

Biggest problem with the written word is the interpretation. I've written aircraft maintenance manuals for over 20 years and no matter how hard I try to be clear, someone always reads my instructions differently than I intended.

Yup! Those are "placeholder" values. And, since you've opened the Custom Options menu, those placeholder values are what will be loaded into your tune unless you change them manually or, "Load Previous Settings" (assuming you've manually entered correct values before).

If you've never used the Custom Options menu, there IS NO "Previous Settings" file to "Load"! A tune by itself does not create one.

I KNOW it's confusing! It took me at least six months to finally put all the pieces together.

I like your avatar! The P-40 was always one of my favorite WWII aircraft.
