    After each update should we delete profile? At least recommend at the end of every readme wether it's required or not.
    Thank you for your continued development.

    If it's required, they will tell you. If it says nothig about it, no need to delete.

    I do it automatically just because. Once we reach 1.0 I'll probably stop but in EA/Beta I just do it with every release.

    It shouldnt always be required and often times it will only be specific files that require resetting, but a lot of people report fixing issues we wouldnt expect them to by just starting a fresh profile - put it this way, if you can put up with the minor hassle of reconfiguring the game it wont hurt to start fresh every once in a while, at least during Early Access.

    It's one of those things that once you start to do it regularly, you can set everything up from scratch in no time because you just remember all your settings and the order in which to do them.

    Is it necessary to always delete ams2 folder completely or are there some defenite files to get the expected effect for ffb, graphics, AI, etc.?

    Renato, it was like this during PC2 development also and they said that after release it would not be needed to reset the settings any more. The problems still persisted after release too. If you have the source code, please check that reading and writing the settings are really stable. In PC2 it seemed almost like there's some piece of code that writes/reads settings very seldomly, but has a bug in it, and the main routines that are used almost all the time work correctly. Similar thing applies to, for example, car setups and a few other mechanics which I can't go into right now.
