Scenery Install Question

Never had installed MAIW Scenery before in FSX. Downloaded the SAC Retro JYAI Bomber Line. Got the AI B-58 to show, buses, yellow stairs, and 3 open hangers if I remember correctly. I cannot get anything else to show. I *think* my problem is here. I do use Instant Scenery. I opened my document and went to Instant Scenery. Found the folder thumbnails, but also found ThumbnailMaker output folder. I opened this file and copied everything to the IS folder. Nothing. I copied this folder MAIW Global Scenery Library Objects, and placed it in the ThumbnailMaker folder. Nothing. Could someone please help me? The P3D v3, I'm having even less luck. Thanks.

The MAIW scenery is nothing to do with Instant Scenery and so copying it into that folder will do absolutely nothing.
What you need to do is follow the install instructions that come with the Global Scenery Library Objects package in the readme. It has to be its own folder and added to the scenery.cfg either manually, not recommended unless you know what you are doing, or automatically using FSX.
I would imagine that P3D is very similar.
Have you ever added an add-on scenery before, or am I misreading your post?

No Sir, I have never added MAIW scenery. I make my own with FSDS. But it can not be used in P3D. No updates available. Sad.

I didn't mean MAIW scenery specifically but any add-on scenery. The same process needs to happen whether it is ours or somebody elses. If you read the readme and follow it it should work for you. All our readmes have instructions to install scenery.
Instant Scenery has it's own system as is not the same as ours. The two can be used together with no issues but scenery made with Instant Scenery must be installed according to IS procedures whereas our scenery and others have to be installed according to FSX/P3D installation procedures.
