And I'll withdraw my nomination (unless you folks decide to give it the "enhanced Treatment", hint,hint)
I'd forgotten how to manually install scenery correctly on Win versions greater than 7, ie. click in the white space. Dur.
Now though, since I did the install correctly I'm able to see the buildings and such and with access to the proper libraries most of this old legacy FS9 scenery is at least working. Some problems with auto traffic and flattening out by the edges where it joins the orbx, but all the runways and taxiways appear to function correctly and it's usable in it's current form. Color me a happy camper!
