The scenery is working fine now, I haven’t done anything since I re-downloaded 3 days ago. The next two days, scenery didn’t display, no 3rd party indication in World Map, no DAT file created in Sceneryindex folder. Then today (11/27), went into the sim, no update for scenery in the marketplace, yet scenery has 3rd party indication in World Map, DAT file created today when loading into Sim. Flew short flight into airport, scenery looks great! Don’t understand why scenery didn’t load properly until 3 days after I purchased, never seen that happen before. Strange. Anyway, it’s all good now.

Not sure if it could be related but today there was an mandatory AIRAC Cycle Update (2512).
