It made me want to play the simulation again, I went into controls, and loaded my saved controls file. To my surprise, War Thunder doesn’t load my controllers anymore. I have several control files, but none of them load.
I can only upload my files to tanks…
What happened during that time when I didn’t play simulation?
Something similar happened to me, too. After one of the recent small patches my controls were set to default and the saved file was gone for good. Had to reconfigure everything again manually… :/
I think I had a similar issue; You may need to save it after switching to the correct mode but you may also always have to verify you’re on the right mode before you exit the settings page each time you enter it.
