Wise87 Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I took a look in my terrain.cfg and noticed tons of entries for Orbx scenery that I don't have installed. Is this normal and are they being used? Can they be removed or does it effect load time? These are the items listed that I don't have installed: ORBX FTX-AU custom ORBX FTX-NZ custom ORBX FTX-GB custom ORBX FTX-PNW custom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wise87 Posted June 23, 2019 Author Share Posted June 23, 2019 WOW, pretty simple question. I figured it would have been answered by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Sawatzky Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Hi You can delete the terrain.cfg file and P3Dv4 will build a new file on restart and maybe it will show only the items you have installed. I would not recommend manually altering it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry_R Posted June 23, 2019 Share Posted June 23, 2019 Hello, To add to what Doug said, unless you have extensive knowledge of how this file works, trying to edit the terrain.cfg will most likely make a big mess of the sim and will not shorten the loading time. It's a critical file. If you have P3D rebuild the default file, you will then need to use the verify files feature of FTXC3 for the Orbx libraries to restore the Orbx specific entries and you will be back where you started.

Even after the rebuild I still get the following entries in my cfg and I don't have those products installed. I wonder if it's a place holder or results of Vector.

Doug Sawatzky Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I have personally never felt the need to visually examine the contents of my terrain.cfg....especially if everything is working, so I am betting that it is nothing to worry about.
