I do regret my inability to navigate a support forum in a way that doesn't offend. I posted in the wrong area; my apology.
I'm not a subject matter expert--a freedom I have that enables me to become completely confused about something that I have never experienced or read about--and so terribly awkwardly I communicated that bewilderment. I came for understanding and I certainly got it. The point was made. Again, I apologize.
FYI: My settings are those that come with a fresh install of X-Plane 12. I would think this was a good starting point and I was cold and dark with the LR 172 and the environment was non-taxing to the system (unlike LAX). I have loaded my payware GA and a handful of paid scenery a hangar of 172’s that had different avionics and capabilities and I am running at 34 FPS.
I had the G5 for years and thought I wore it out! That’s how much I like the product; I purchased the G500 recently--that states my trust and faith in the productS X-Aviation sells. Doesn't it? Period. Payware/freeware does work and occasionally in his or her X-Plane system it won't, and as we all know everything has a bug or two despite the quality process the company may use prior to release. The experts know what is up--the community has those that do not know.
On this note it is bizarre a scenery library that I never had an issue with now initiates a pop-up window that it is out of date. So, logic states to verify the library is current; download again (You think: don't trust your backup--it's out of date X-Plane says!) Then only to find out the same pop up occurs. so, Logically all the possibilities and weed thru the improbable. How do I KNOW an X Plane update MAY HAVE caused the issue? How do I know the pop-up is correct? How do I know the scenery library IS, in fact, up-to-date with the current X Plane? Go where?
Why do we have to weed thru X Plane 9,10, 11 info when we searched for "XP12" info? Life is full of question for those like me that are well, much less ….
Something was occurring and I didn’t and don't understand--it is so bizarre to me. After a couple weeks of issues and 'fresh installs' and a lessening inability to interpret the Log.txt I came for assistance AFTER I deleted that fresh install and all documents. It was an incorrect presumption that I had the Log.txt. and didn’t include it. Why would I make it harder for X-Aviation? For you? Anyone?
A company’s support is not unlike an EMERGENCY ROOM, most often clarity is lacking and emotions are frayed. People are not at their best. Empathy for our fellow Man?
Yes, as stupidly as I communicate and ignorant as it seems I am--yes, I am aware a Log. txt. is generated ...
Thanks for the response; I won't bother your company further with my perceived stupidity.
Just disappointed I couldn't communicate ‘more better’: to edify and enlighten; perhaps to grow your business and X-Plane and the community and ___________________. ( I probably forgot something--oh how stupid I am!)

P.S. The instruments are not currently loaded, and regardless, this communique has no influence on whether or not I reload them. I am not ready or willing to take the time to manipulate the system so soon after it's running again and adding anything is with much reluctance.
