How to recreate "clean" default terrain.cfg without re-installing P3D

[G-YMML1 582]

I'm going to reinstall UTX/GEX with FTX/FTXV full install and I'd like to start with clean terrain.cfg. Are there any options to recreate one?

 

Thanks

What happens when you simply delet it (after backup)? Maybe P3D rebuilds it

If you PM me your mail address I can send you my P3Dv2.5 terrain.cfg clean install backup copy.

 

cheers, Henk.

Thanks Henk, but since my FS2004 times I have learned in a hard way that FlightSIm fundamental cfg files (scenery, terrain, effects etc) should be generated internally without any external intrusions.Even an additional empty single line could create a potential issue.

Kinda risky business, but I'll try :-)

Please let me know too.  I hate the fact that all these "addons" (it is few of them) modify this critical file, and if anything happens to it - the whole sim goes down the drain.

 

If P3D rebuilds itself - that would be awesome.  Looking forward on seeing your results.

The only REAL issue is with "terrain.cfg". P3D will recreate brand new scenery.cfg without a problem though you would need to reinstall all of your add-ones from the scratch.

Scenery Config Editor does makes backup of scenery.cfg - and this file is easy to modify.  It is the terrain file that I am always worried about.  I always make backup of that file, and I hate the extra work.  I figured this is why LM moved the terrain file location to reduce modification to the file, but almost critical addons depend on this 1 file.

Folks,

 

Unfortunately have to revisit this topic again. Is there any way to restore default terrain.cfg for v.3.4 by reinstalling on the components (Client, Scenery or Conent)

 

Thanks

Any missing .cfg file in C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v3 will be recreated "PRISTINE"  by P3D (any version) , this means if you had addons  they will not be there anymore , or in the case of terrain.cfg they will be a mess...

If you plan to delete one I suggest you make a backup or just simply rename it..
