Appendix 1: Preferences file format
User preferences are saved in a text file named ec135v5.ini (ec135pro.ini for Pro version) which is stored in the folder Output/preferences of your X-Plane installation. The different filename for Pro version makes it possible to have freeware or Plus version installed side by side.
These instructions are intended for advanced users!
The file format is based on the common INI file format with the following characteristics:
- Entries are case sensitive
- Boolean values must be written as integers, where 0 means false and 1 means true
- Comments are not fully supported
Preferences file can be edited with every plain text editor. Please do not use word processing programs such as Word.
The following describes the individual keys that can be used in the ec135v5.ini and ec135pro.ini file. Unknown keys written in the correct syntax are ignored. If the keys are not available, the standard value is usually automatically accepted. Some data is saved in the file every time the aircraft is unloaded.
| Section | Key | Comment |
SETTINGS |
JoystickSensitivityPitch |
Sensitivity of the joystick on the pitch axis. This value overwrites the setting of X-Plane. The original value is restored when the EC 135 is unloaded. If the sensitivity is changed in the X-Plane menu while the EC 135 is loaded, this new value is saved here for the next time the machine is called up. Default value: 0.00 |
SETTINGS |
JoystickSensitivityRoll |
Sensitivity of the joystick on the roll axis. This value overwrites the setting of X-Plane. The original value is restored when the EC 135 is unloaded. If the sensitivity is changed in the X-Plane menu while the EC 135 is loaded, this new value is saved here for the next time the machine is called up. Default value: 0.00 |
SETTINGS |
JoystickSensitivityHeading |
Sensitivity of the joystick or pedals on the yaw axis. This value overwrites the setting of X-Plane. The original value is restored when the EC 135 is unloaded. If the sensitivity is changed in the X-Plane menu while the EC 135 is loaded, this new value is saved here for the next time the machine is called up. Default value: 0.00 |
SETTINGS |
JoystickAugmentPitch |
Artificial stability for control inputs on pitch axis. This value overwrites the setting of X-Plane. The original value is restored when the EC 135 is unloaded. If the stability setting is changed in the X-Plane menu while the EC 135 is loaded, this new value is saved here for the next time the machine is called up. Default value: 0.00 |
SETTINGS |
JoystickAugmentRoll |
Artificial stability for control inputs on roll axis. This value overwrites the setting of X-Plane. The original value is restored when the EC 135 is unloaded. If the stability setting is changed in the X-Plane menu while the EC 135 is loaded, this new value is saved here for the next time the machine is called up. Default value: 0.00 |
