I have not downloaded and installed it so far. Will do that on sunday.

I'm curious if the scenery update will destroy my scenery.cfg. Scenery update is necessary foe EA (objects not shining through haze).

Anyway, Simmers beware, always have a backup!

Hmmm... and if I have to put Tongass into my terrain.cfg again.

Well, yes you have to be aware of it.

No fun.. have to be so careful indeed and always have to remember to backup the system folders:

C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Local\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5
C:\Users\yourname\AppData\Roaming\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v5
C:\ProgramData\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D
(and any other parts you want to save!)

I made the upgrade this morning:

- Backup (everything)
- Screenshots Options->AddOns and Options->Scenery Library
- uninstall Client, Content, Scenery
- install Client, Content, Scenery
- deleted Prepar3D.cfg and shader cache
- P3D start up and shut down
- To be sure I then uninstalled and reinstalled all ORBX Global products.

That was it.

I was surprised that scenery.cfg and terrain.cfg did not change. Not even the time stamp changed. Tongass Fjords were there, no changes necessary. I compared with the screenshots, everything ok.

Also all add-ons in the add-ons.cfg files at Program Data and at AppData Roaming were ok.

I now have to adjust the Prepare3D.cfg and then I will see how it goes and if anything is missing. ORBX TE is also working with no problems.

p.s.: I did not run DeleteGeneratedFiles
