I have previously used this practice scenery, created by helijah download (2008) still available from

I have used on older FG version, but I cannot get it working under 2020.4, I have installed it how I have done other my own scenery but it does not appear.

There is a KIYK.xml file which I don't understand, does anybody use this or have a working version they can share?

dont have it, but I will download it when I get 5 min ( which at the moment looks like it will be some time in November )

Have it installed too and tried it with my 2020.4: no problems here.

You don't need to understand the kiyk.xml. If you start FG from the cli with a '.fgfsrc.xml', you only have to do this:

fgfs --config=<path_to>kiyk.xml --airport=kiyk

Otherwise your starting program should start it as a config-file.

Do you get any error messages?

I am a windows user so stuggling to where files go, I have tried putting kiyk.xml in

C:\FlightGear 2020.4\data\kiyk.xml

And in settings I have tried

--config=<path_to>kiyk.xml

also tried

--config=C:/FlightGear 2020.4/data/kiyk.xml

also

--config=C:\FlightGear 2020.4\data\kiyk.xml

still no show

All I get is the arrive banner and a lot of windsocks

Sorted

FG does not like spaces in folder names, working ok by moving kiyk.xml to to folder with no spaces in the name

Put the file into your home folder (or a link) and start FG from there.

Or you could use 'tab' for autocompletion.
