FSX Modified Terrain Textures Config File

Modified terrain.cfg tuning refines how Flight Simulator X renders land and water textures, correcting common visual mismatches such as rocky patches appearing in rivers and lakes. It improves coloration to make terrain flaws far less obvious while adding additional configuration options that help scenery designers target more consistent results across varied regions.

Flight Simulator X Prepar3D
Flight Simulator X terrain is defined in the terrain.cfg file. During testing, we have determined a certain number of modifications to this file that will correct some problems with the FS world and also provide more options for scenery designers. For example, in some places, water bodies display rocky areas - this file fixes that. Note: It does not smooth out the terrain - just colors it so it isn't so obviously flawed.

How to install this mod

FSX / P3D scenery

  1. Extract the downloaded archive

    Use 7-Zip (free) or WinRAR to extract the ZIP to a temporary folder. Don't install while still zipped — the simulator can't read inside ZIP files.

  2. Place scenery in Addon Scenery

    Create a folder under FSX\Addon Scenery\ containing scenery and texture sub-folders.

  3. Activate in Scenery Library

    In FSX, go to Settings → Scenery Library → Add Area. Higher priority means it overrides lower entries for the same location.

  4. Always read the included readme

    Every mod ships with a readme.txt or README file. It tells you exactly where files go, what dependencies are needed, and any quirks specific to this add-on.
Still stuck? The readme included with the file is the authoritative source for this specific mod. Visit our Flight School tutorials or ask in our Q&A forum.

    I so agree with Ricky! It happens all too often that instructions are not included. How can one then trust the author not to have made more mistakes? :-(

    "Please read the detailed explanation that is included, and then install this modified file."

    i would do that if it had instructions but there are none!
