3 years ago TL;DR I began writing this post as I was doing my testing/documenting. During the course of this, I was able to magically fix the bug myself. You can scroll down to the end of this post to see that. Thanks for responding on the forums though!
Here are some more details: KSP: Windows 64-bit, version 1.10.2939 KSP was installed through Steam, but I am using the latest version of CKAN to manage my mods and launch it. To try and reproduce this bug in a clean environment, I used CKAN to clone my main KSP instance and then uninstalled all mods. I also deleted my saves that had been cloned. But I did not change anything else, so anything that might have carried over from my original instance could still be there. I then (manually) reinstalled Precise Maneuver version 2.4.4.
After launching KSP, I started a new Sandbox game with default settings and launched a simple craft into LKO. I went into map view and configured the settings using the stock toolbar as I normally would. I also created and saved a simple maneuver preset. Then, I quit to main menu and left the game.
Here is the Player.log file generated from that: Player.log Recording (I apologize for the incredibly shitty video quality; I didn't realize how bad it was until after I had already recorded): https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cZ5gaLqKLEhiiARr-2C2xpPgHXCq37FP/view?usp=sharing
Upon reloading the game, I loaded the saved sandbox game and took control of the craft. I went into map view and checked the settings in the stock toolbar. Magically, it was now working! There are only 2 relevant things I can think of that I might be different from my real game:
- There is a mod conflict causing this bug
- Maybe when I saved the maneuver preset, it fixed the bug; I didn't save any maneuver presets in my real game.

So it seems I will need to test this in my real game. I switched to my main instance of KSP and I was about to send the mod list when I realized that one of my mods (Maneuver Node Splitter) was not showing up in the CKAN list. This was kind of weird, so I went ahead and deleted it manually and then tried to install it through CKAN. Turns out I was missing a dependency! So I installed that, and now here is the mod list for that game:
The first thing I wanted to test is to see if saving a maneuver preset made it magically work. I loaded my main game, picked a random craft to switch to, then configured the settings as described earlier. I then quit to main menu and left the game.

Upon reloading the game, and switching back to the same vessel, all of my settings were magically saved. I made another recording for this, but I see no reason to upload it now. Nevermind, KSP works in mysterious ways apparently. Either installing the missing mod dependency for the other mod fixed it, or saving a single random maneuver preset fixed it. Regardless, it seems to work now and I can keep using this great mod. If it becomes an issue again, I will contact you. Have a great day!
Playing on latest KSP version 1.10.2939. The majority of the mod amazingly works just fine, except for a little bit of occasional weirdness with trying to set a node to the AN/DN. However, there is one major issue with the mod, which is that the settings don't save! So every time I restart KSP I have to change my hotkeys and settings for the mod. Is there some way this can be fixed? It's not game breaking, and I think I prefer this mod over Precise Node, but if this persists I may have to end up switching.
