How to restore default shaderrs in P3D 4.4?

[ejoiner]

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.)

You can delete the entire shaders folder and let the sim rebuild new ones.

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.
