How to restore default shaderrs in P3D 4.4?

Hi all, I managed to mess up my shaders while tweaking and now PTA (new version) is rejecting the current shaders as non originals. How can I get default shaders back? What do I need to do to restore default? (I dont have a back up that works.)

Ah no, the sim will not rebuild the shaders. It will only rebuild the shader compilated files which are in c:\users\...\appdata\local\...
It won't rebuild the files in P3Dv4\ShaderHSLS\.
If PTA doesn't include an option to restore the shaders, then you could simply uninstall and reinstall the "client" part of P3D.

I fixed this by using the "repair" function of the client.msi installer. I did delete the faulty shadersHLSL folder to insure that the repair would replace it. Worked fine.
