   The default path to the setting file is: /Documents/AirSim/settings.json

   So are you changing this setting file? If so, please ignore my comment.

   Either change the file in the Documents/Airsim folder, or, if you are trying to create a custom settings.json in the executable folder, make sure that it is in the same folder as the actual executable. This is not the same as the top level executable in the binary folder. E.g. if you are using the Blocks environment, the settings.json file should be placed in ...\Blocks\Blocks\Binaries\Win64

   @shkim1030 When you start Airsim, it should list the location that it is pulling the settings.json file from in the top left corner logs. Can you see where that location is for your setup?

   Hi @shkim1030! The place searched for the settings.json is (in my windows machine) C:\Program Files\Epic Games\UE_4.24\Engine\Binaries\Win64\settings.json.
   if that doesn't help, try debugging here please:
   

   AirSim/Unreal/Plugins/AirSim/Source/SimHUD/SimHUD.cpp

   Lines 365 to 372 in d59ceb7

   	bool ASimHUD::getSettingsText(std::string& settingsText)
   	{
   	return (getSettingsTextFromCommandLine(settingsText)
   	||
   	readSettingsTextFromFile(FString(msr::airlib::Settings::getExecutableFullPath("settings.json").c_str()), settingsText)
   	||
   	readSettingsTextFromFile(FString(msr::airlib::Settings::Settings::getUserDirectoryFullPath("settings.json").c_str()), settingsText));
   	}
