Can we stop wave effects?

Post by Beaufighter »

Hi
Really don´t like those waves or wave effects on beaches and shorelines. Previous versions used to go to terrain.cfg and using // (//Effect=wavecontroller and all wave variants) managed to stop that effect. Now in v4 using same method it works but terrain.cfg changes everytime I restart P3D. Is there another way to stop this from happening, meaning supressing wave effects and keeping it that way? Thanks

Are you modifying the terrain.cfg in %programdata%? By default this won't be modified after it is generated. There could be an add-on installed that is modifying the file.

May be you are changing the encoding of the file with notepad and P3D restores the pristine one back...
