Files and folders
Where FlightOut keeps your settings, key bindings and log files on Windows, macOS and Linux, and what's inside.
Your settings and key bindings
Everything you set, and every key you change, is saved in one file, settings.cfg, the moment you change it.
| System | Folder |
|---|---|
| Windows | %APPDATA%\Godot\app_userdata\Yembera FlightOut |
| macOS | ~/Library/Application Support/Godot/app_userdata/FlightOut |
| Linux | ~/.local/share/godot/app_userdata/Yembera FlightOut |
On Windows, paste the folder path into File Explorer's address bar. On macOS, use Go, Go to Folder in Finder.
- Delete settings.cfg (with FlightOut closed) to start again with the defaults, as on a fresh install. RESET DEFAULTS in Settings does the same from inside the game.
- Copy it to move your settings and keys to another computer.
- Updating FlightOut keeps it. The Windows uninstaller asks whether to remove it.
A few things are saved there that have no setting on screen:
| In settings.cfg | What it is |
|---|---|
[net] callsign | Your callsign |
[net] last_server | The last address you typed in JOIN BY ADDRESS |
[cockpit] seat_height | Raises or lowers your eye in the cockpit, from -0.06 to 0.06 (metres). Default 0 |
[controls] head_tracking_port | The UDP port FlightOut listens on for OpenTrack. Default 4242 |
Edit these only with FlightOut closed, and keep a copy first.
A server you host from the Multiplayer screen uses the same file: its weather comes from your Weather settings.
Logs
FlightOut writes a log while it runs: logs/godot.log inside the same folder. Older runs are kept beside it with the date and time in the name, and a server you host writes its own log there too. If something goes wrong, attach the godot log files from around that time to your report on GitHub.
The browser version
FlightOut Lite keeps its settings in your browser's storage for run.flightout.app. Clearing that site's data resets them.
The game itself
| System | Where |
|---|---|
| Windows | Installed for you only: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Programs\Yembera\FlightOut. For all users: C:\Program Files\Yembera\FlightOut |
| macOS | /Applications/FlightOut.app (or wherever you put it) |
| Linux | The folder you unpacked it into: the game file and FlightOut.pck must stay together |
The map data, about 1 GB, is part of the game.
Checked against FlightOut 0.5.2.
