Where is the photo.ini file???

Hey Luis,
I have been reading every post in this forum starting waaaay back to March 25, 2004 when you first created SBuilder! Boy what a wealth of information when you take the time to read them. It has answered many questions and has opened me to new techniques. I am glad you still have SBuilder forums for FS2004 running as many of us have not moved on to FSX.
I came across one thread very important to me called "Pre-release of version 2.05" on page 12 dated Wed Apr 20, 2005 3:18 am. where you state the following:
"You can control the operation of high resolution scenery using a set of parameters found in the INI file. Here is the list:"
[Photo]
HWinterEnd=-1
HWinterStart=-1
WinterEnd=76
WinterStart=356
FallEnd=355
FallStart=263
SpringEnd=169
SpringStart=77
MeshBias=0
FlattenBias=0
Zbias=0
PhotoRange=5000
PhotoCall=LayerCall( :lcall 4 )
The question I have is, where is this ini file? Do I create it? Do I use the hi-res photo.scm file for this and add the [PHOTO] section? When I compile the only 'ini' file I see is for the terrain mesh.
I am particularly interested in the Zbias() parameter. Did you ever implement the
AltitudeGap= parameter?
I know this is jogging your memory but hopefully I have made it easier for you too remember.
