FS Water Configurator Troubles

Hi all,

I'm trying to configure my water to look the way I want now that I've reinstalled FSX Steam. I have FSWC up and running and all works well, except for the actual water itself. No matter what settings I apply, the water doesn't change in FSX. The Water20.fxh file does get updated (new timestamp after I run FSWC and apply settings), but nothing in the sim changes.

Things To Know (based on searching the issue)

- I have made sure to press 'Apply'

- All my paths are set correctly and there is no other version of FSX installed (i.e. boxed)

- I have water set on Low 2.x in the sim, which should be sufficient to render the changes

What I have tried

- The Public Preview (couldn't even get it to run, crashes on startup with a 'can't find fsx.cfg' error)

- Using the Lite version, and manually switching out the shader files from the Lite version

- Running as Admin (I have UAC off but I tried anyway)

- Running in Compatibility Mode

Any help?
