February 2, 20188 yr So I’ve been having a few texture morphing and flickering issues. I deleted the terrain cfg file and let P3D build an new one. Then I closed P3D and ran FTX Central. However I noticed the new terrain.cfg file is smaller by a little bit and the texture count is less by about 20? Is there another step I’m missing here? Apart from Orbx global + open lc everything else is add on scenery including freemeshx so that should be it right?

February 2, 20188 yr I have never heard of anyone deleting the terrain.cfg before and letting it rebuild. Not a good idea. If it was rebuilt, it rebuilt to the P3D default. So any addons that put entries there are missing and you will have to reinstall those. I see Orbx had a few entries in mine. But then they have their own global terrain.cfg file. Reinstall all of your Orbx scenery and that should fix it for you. Before you do that, make sure there's not a backup in C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin. Think Orbx makes backups of configs if they change the orig. Best regards, Jim Jim Young | AVSIM Online! - Simming's Premier Resource!

February 2, 20188 yr Author A search revealed someone suggesting to do that on the orbx forum however there aren’t any detailed explanations on the process. I was under the impression that terrain and scenery are separate and addon sceneries would go under scenery.cfg and not terrain.cfg I did make a backup so if anything went wrong I’ll just revert to that. Thanks.

February 2, 20188 yr I have heard of this process myself, and have done so as well. After you deleted it and ran P3D once, it rebuilt just the P3D version of the cfg file. Running FTXCentral added the ORBX only entries to that file. If you have other addons, such as Ultimate Terrain, you will need to run those installers to add their entries as well. 32GB DDR4 3200Mhz i7-9700K RTX 3060 12GB GDDR6
February 3, 20188 yr Author I don’t have UTX but I figured out that it’s probably Amsterdam X which probably uses the terrain.cfg file instead of scenery cfg. Guess I should reinstall that.
