Yeah, that's what I just did. Point is though, I shouldn't have to. Retrieving a file from a backup is a pain in the ass and potentially dangerous. Deleting user created data without prompting the user is just a plain old UI sin. Period, no ifs ands or buts. It should not be done under any circumstance, and I am baffled as to how such a stupid idea got into flightgear. Besides, it would be so trivially easy to make the default be to keep the user's data, and only delete it if the user actively tells the program to do so. And in case anyone missed it when I said it before, programs should never never never ever delete user created data without asking the user. Ever. Come on guys.
