MAIW Scenery Library Objects was a folder specified by us to put global libraries in that was added to by adding extras packages of ours to your system.

MAIW Scenery Library Objects Fs9 was a complete download containing all of the libs that we considered to be global libs.

In essence if you downloaded all of our packages the two folders that you have should be exactly the same. If you didn't download all of the packages then you could be one or more libs short of the complete collection.

In short you do not need both.

The simple answer is to remove the one with the least number of libs, which should be your original folder MAIW Scenery Library Objects.

If that has more libs than your MAIW Scenery Library Objects FS9 then somehow you have put more in there than should be. However this is not a great concern as long as your active folder contains all of the libs and textures from both then this will ensure that no scenery loses anything.
Remember the pack is a snapshot of what we consider global libs, it is not a sacrosanct folder.

Brilliant,thanks for that Steve.

I'll put a .org on the end of it for starters(once I've checked it over)so that anything that's missing,
black or white boxed,I can move it over from the original to the Fs9 folder and re-install.

Thanks again Steve,

Miggers.

That is definitely the way to do it, renames and copies to avoid doing anything destructive until you are ready to do so.
