Custom scenery not working/not showing

Question

I recently bought X-Plane 10 and I needed to get scenery for Vatsim and when I installed the scenery then load up X-Plane, nothing changes.

Yes I did restart X-Plane

Answer 1

From the filename I'm guessing this is the version on gateway.x-plane.com. As with anything from there that says "Artist: WEDbot", it's just a copy of what's already in X-Plane, and you can see it's listed as "2D" (no buildings).

I would usually consult apxp.info for alternatives; in this instance the only item listed there that isn't an add-on for payware or a broken link is "Ted's Scenery", though I've not tried that. Personally I bought New York Airports XP, which I can recommend, though it's expensive.
