While in flight and on autopilot, if I go to make a change weather it be in views, options, aircraft or any of the choices, and then hit OK and go back to my flight, all my intial navigation input, lighting, auto pilot settings etc..have all gone away.  It's not remembering any of this. The plane noses way up and I have to adjust for that to avoid a stall and then reset everything.  I've done reinstalls, cleaned registry, deleted old flights. Nothing seems to help. this problem just came up and is now reoccuring everytime I fly. Anyone have have any idea?. The fun never seems to end.

I have exactly the same problem:
"While in flight and on autopilot, if I go to make a change weather it be in views, options, aircraft or any of the choices, and then hit OK and go back to my flight, all my intial navigation input, lighting, auto pilot settings etc..have all gone away."
It started after I downloaded 1.3 and added the BOAC 300C. Prior to that, no issue. I have made no config changes nor have downloded anyother thing to my FSX and CS 707.
Any Ideas?

After installing 1.3 I added a few of Nathan's liverys and the dissappearing setting started. I deleted those additional liveries from the aircraft folder and aircraft cfg. and it's funcitoning fine again. Try deleting your BOAC and see if that helps.
Still having glideslope issues if anyone has any ideas there. Fine on flights up to 1/2 hr. but then on longer duration flights the glidescope goes on but just won't move up, down or anywhere. Cleared registry as per KB#685, did reinstall, and using a FSX default aircraft on initial load. Still no luck with the glideslope indicator.

I was just speaking about a more detailed description of your setup and the steps your're undertaking to trigger the problem.
I'm running a lot of Nathan's fine paints too. Got nothing to report which comes close to your mentioned behaviour of the plane, sorry.

Thanks CoolP. As far as entry points, I just select a 707 model and place the plane at an airport and I see the problem. Very simple, nothing special. It sounds like Mark has seen an aspect of what is happening. Seems to be a bug where a inconsistent number of parameters are reset to default when you make changes to weather or fuel. I also find that if I have flaps down at the time, they will go up. I have reloaded 1.3 without the BOAC 300C and still see the problem. The inconsistency is interesting.

Hmmm. Weird. I don't recall see anything happen when I changed the weather, only when I changed the fuel quantity. I shall take another look.

It is strange that your FSX crashes after about an hour of use with a Captain Sim aircraft. I can use any Captain Sim product, for FSX, for hours without any problems at all.

I did have FSX crash earlier today, but it was caused by another developers product. It was either the one I started FSX with, using one developers product, followed by switching to another developers product. I have had that happen quite often. I have found that it is better to restart FSX before switching between different developers aircraft. IF I can remember to that!

Yes have also experienced FSX crash, when using the 707-300, usually  after 2 hours flighing, at anytime when changing weather, looking at the map etc. Although FSX crashes is far more frequently, when using the 727-100/200. FSX never crashes when using C-130.
