Title: Persistent pilots
Post by: procdrone on May 21, 2014, 04:12:15 am

Hello, after a while, playing various mods my pilots list grown rather big... and i decided to clean it up.
I deleted all non-essential pilots inside the game, everything nice and clean.

But when i run the game again, all those pilots i just deleted are back up! I can't get rid of them.....

Any ideas? Should i post fs2open log?

FSO is probably reconverting your pre 3.7.0 pilots.  Try renaming your old pilots directory, e.g. data/players/single/inferno/ to data/players/single/inferno-disabled/.  Then remove all the old pilots from within FSO and they shouldn't come back.

No :)  FSO will attempt to convert pilots every time it runs, so if you rename it back it'll happily convert all your pilots again.  You could also manually delete the pilots from that directory, or run 3.6.18 and delete the pilots that way.  I just thought that renaming it would leave all the old pilots hanging around, just in case.
