I was doing the usual messing about looking for the most "effective" settings in P3DV2.2. One thing that needed changed was the dark water in lakes. So I went to REX Essentials Overdrive HD (lovely title). Fiddled with the the water textures. Most of the time a change in REX had no effect. Then the water changed and was acceptable. One thing I did was a restore in REX to get an older texture config. So, happy with the change I flew around Florida (lots of lakes) and all was well. 

 

Now back to ORBX PNW region which I had disabled along with ORBXLIBS file. I went to KHQM Bowerman but never looked at the Scenery.CFG since I wanted to see what the water looked liked without ORBX in that area. Well, to my surprise the KHQM airport and the region appeared to be enabled. I did not enable them. I looked at the Scenery Library and it looked much different than normal. In fact it was an old CFG! 

 

The only thing I can think of is that doing a restore in REX for an older set of texture specs also (at no extra charge) set my Scenery.CFG to an older version as well. Has anyone every seen this or should I look for an exorcist?

I kow this sounds as a stupid question but was it the scenery.cfg in

 

C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v2

 

you were looking in? This is the valid one the one in the P3D root directory is a dummy! But of course you knew that from before.  :rolleyes:

Yep, it was the real one in Program Data. I should spend some money to match P3DV2 and maybe I will not have to mess around. Went into REX and tried various restores and did not happen.I just removed the several backup CFGs I accumulated so that may be a preventative but not a cure.
