Taxiways wrong/out of date MSFS KMSY

Hi:
I landed in MSY last night on VATSIM and all the taxiways were wrong compared to Foreflight, Navigraph.
Seems whatever the MSFS equivalent of AFCAD file is, it's either out of date or not being read properly.
Did a fresh install from MSFS Marketplace for good measure.
Are you aware, or is there any existing or planned patch?

all taxiways? that's new to us, we knew that they extended a taxiway. When we did KMSY we did it with the new terminals and new taxiways. When you mean wrong you mean the signage?

Hi Ricardo: The rwy 29 crossings aren't labeled G1 / G2 / G3 / G4 / G6 on the north side of the runway.
More weird (about MSY) is that G6 extends all the way across the runway and it's labeled C (which is probably outdated).
When I got issued taxi instructions G6 to E, I only saw C crossing 11/29.
Making it worse, Aivlasoft EFB isn't readying your airport for some reason, so the taxi diagram is even more outdated.
It looks like one small problem on your side, led to a bigger problem on my side.
But it's a great airport. It might be worth completing out Taxiway G and the G1 thru G8 crossings.
If I totally confused you, PM me. I can find a way to get you some pics.

This turned out to be an issue with sceneries bought in the MSFS Marketplace (which I stupidly did). It seems they encrypt some files in the download to prevent piracy, and 3rd party apps (such as Aivlasoft EFB) can't read the BGL or AFCAD (whichever is used) files. So the default airport is shown on the app.
Not your issue. Thanks for responding though. Appreciate it. I'll be getting your sceneries elsewhere going forward.
