I have a downloads folder for CFS3 and When unzip a downloaded file it leaves a .zx file of the same name, It is not readible in notepad and I had it since I first downloaded an addon fo CFS3, I just always forgot to post anything

Does anyone know what this file is or why its created. Oh and is it safe to delete it probably is just want to hear what you guys think

Thanks

An old adage: If it ain't broke don't fix it. Really if you game works fine don't mess with it Grin

Hi Random, like Plane says don't mess with it. I've no idea what they do either. But when in doubt don't mess with it Wink

I think its something to do with the things being automatically added to the program. Trouble is CFS3 using a different system to all previous CFS and FS models its hard to know. If I find out anything I'll let you know Wink

If you use custom scenery for improve fps, you have to
delete terradata.zx and scenery.zx for avoiding failures
or something like that. Anyway they are generated again when you start cfs3. But I have no idea what they
do either.

oh ok judging from what you say its probably kindof like an Index file. Heres what I mean It is created to help the software find and load everything faster.. kindof like an index file.

Im just making that assumption not 100% sure.

I just dont know why it creates it in my FS9/dloads folder that folder isn't a default one. Or maybe it is I forget stuff.

I just wanted to get rid of it cause it clogs up my dloads folder

oh well
