    Bad news. Today I deleted tons of files from my computer because I was running out of space. I deleted BeamNG backups and cache files since they were huge. I got like 30 gigabytes of free space from removing them. Then I loaded this map and noticed that the terrain was missing. The terrain file was hidden somewhere in the cache files that I deleted and it wasn't in the map folder as I expected. I had emptied the recycle bin before I noticed this and I couldn't recover the file. There is a terrain file in the map folder but it is very old. I'm not going to do anything with it. Painting, adjusting and smoothing a 9830x9830 terrain AGAIN takes absolutely too much time. Sooo I guess I have to cancel this...?

    TL;DR: I accidentally deleted the terrain file.

    I would try it if it was free. 19.95€ to recover a terrain file is too much for me.

    Oh, I'm dumb. I saw a "buy now" button and I automatically thought that it costs money. I didn't read anything else.

    He probably deleted it, so it's non-recoverable.

    you can do a PC restore , u can set ur pc back to a time before u deleted it and it should return , however anything u have done since then will be lost
    ps
    its not as simple as it sounds but not all that hard either

    Restoring a computer does not affect any documents or pictures. It can not be used to recover files.
    --- Post updated ---
    Only the terrain file is missing. All other files are completely usable including the trains.
