Jinro, I don't believe your realism and other setup options are saved unless you save your logbook and one or two other related files tied to the same pilot, and then replace them in your new install. Check your config or related folder in Falcon. However, if you are using BMS, that has the config editor, outside of the in game UI set up options. For that set up, which you may be referring to, I believe you can save a Filter for your selections in a directory of your choice. Make sure it isn't in your Falcon overall directory and then wiped out when you uninstall! Choose another location or better, name the filter clearly, then go and back it up someplace safe.
Whether joystick settings are saveable either through the pilot/logbook/ini etc files, or in some other way, I really don't know.
Good luck!
