The Windows 8 train wreck (in general) aside are you saying that "is" the reason I haven't been able to load airports? I have been able to successfully download a few (not all) planes. Are other X-Plane (9 or 10) users having Windows 8 comparability issues?

Thanks for the reply Jim. Sorry I should have mentioned that I've tried the different rendering options including "Totally Insane" and nothing changes. I was starting to wonder if it's a Windows 8 thing. I know I have other older programs that won't run right (or at all) on 8.

Hi, I just recently purchased and loaded XP 9 onto my laptop (win 8 64 bit). I chose 9 over 10 because my system just barley met the minimum requirements for 10 but was well within the requirements of 9. For the most part everything is running smooth, the problem is I can't get any of the airport scenery to load. I download the file, unzip it and then drop it into the custom scenery folder. I then open XP, go to that airport and nothings there other than the runways and the default (off-property) scenery. I've tried this with at least a dozen major US airports. What am I missing here?
