Actually got tired of screwing around with everything and finally stored all my community files in my Addon Linker folder and then deleted the Official folder in my Packages folder. I then reloaded the three MSFS programs and everything is back to normal with no pink checkerboards. Probably cleaned out a bunch of unnecessary files I’ve accumulated over the past year, but will have a bunch of files to download in my Content Manager. On the other hand, everything is looking good and working like a brand new program.
Thanks to those of you who offered suggestions as it was satisfying to realize how much help and knowledge is out there in the MSFS community if one only asks. Thanks folks, I really appreciated the help.
