Delete FXO and Metashader Files

[Coota0]

I saw it suggested that I should delete FXO and Metashader files after each update to DCS. How do I do this?

When I look in my Eagle Dynamics folder I have 2 FXO files.

One is in C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\aircraft\F14 with 4 files (DDD.fxo, Jestercam.fxo, Lantirn.fxo and TCS.fxo)

The other file is C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar\shaders with a single zip file (fxo.zip)

What do I delete?

What about the metashaders? I have a C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Bazar Shaders\metashaders.edc with multiple folders and files within each.

Do I delete all of these?

Wrong place. They’re in your Saved Games folder. You’ll find it under your Windows user name.

Delete everything out of the FXO file and everything out of the Metashaders2 folders, right?

Yes, thats what we used to do, both on the Sim install folder and in Saved Games, but I'm not sure this have any effect on FPS anymore.

Just delete both folders. They will regenerate completely.
