Help With Sceneries Not Loading

[ESzczesniak 128]

I upgraded and made a clean install of P3D v4.5HF3 about 2 months ago (new hard drives, graphics card).  I loaded and installed everything at that time, but then P3D sat idle for a while.  Since I didn't fly much, I'm not sure how well things were truly working at that time or not, but things mostly appeared ok.  I came back to start actually flying again and am finding the sim laden with default scenery where I expected add-on scenery.  I installed one or two other add-ons during that time (LatinVFR KIND, Virtual Avionics, FDS CDU Controller), but otherwise focused on MSFS.

I have almost 300 entries in my scenery.cfg, so I have not tested everything.  However, this may only be affecting Orbx and not other sceneries.  I know for sure FSDT KMEM and PHNL are loading.  I know for sure Orbx Global and Southern California are not loading.  I think Orbx KSAN is loading, although I'm having a hard time being sure...it looks a bit ugly still surrounded by default scenery making me second guess myself.

I have checked that all the sceneries are listed as active in the P3D scenery editor.  Orbx Central shows them asll as installed.  I have moved all Orbx stuff to nearly the top of the list (under a couple FSDT airports that have conflicts...PHNL, KLAX).  Nearly everything is installed with add-on.xml files.  Basically, the only thing not installed that way is Tongass Fjords that I installed the old fashioned way.  Again, I'm working on my way through troubleshooting, but it seems that Orbx is using a "discovery path" in the add-ons.cfg.  Could this not be working for some reason?

I'm not a scenery guru, so I'm about out of troubleshooting ideas.  Does anyone have suggestions for further troubleshooting, or the culprit?

Try using the Sync command in ORBX Central and also the Verify option.

Thank you for the reply.  Verifying the files has not helped.  I am not finding a "sync" command in Orbx Central.

It is possible this may be isolated to southern California/KSAN.  Orbx PAKT and LOWI are displaying correctly and once I taxied near the terminal's at San Diego...this is definitely not Orbx KSAN.  I am trying to reinstall KSAN at the moment.  It seems to me that Orbx Global is not displaying either.  However I don't fly in default areas very often and maybe I'm just remembering it all looking better than I was seeing.

The Sync option is in  the ‘ Help’ tab in ‘ Settings ‘
