Indeed, for the MSFS2024, both provided folders are required so that the scenery works properly. If you already had the MSFS2020 version, note that 1 folder has same name, but in fact the content of it is different if you use MSFS2020 version or MSFS2024 version.
I noticed that the conversion technique i use, and also published, is also used by other developpers now. Several folders are necessary for 1 scenery, at least 2 per scenery. So you may notice the same on other mods.

Doesn't work for me, but all the other content folders in my community folder work, the .json files are in the root folder, and I have downloaded and installed daves 3d people library, nothing will work. I noticed there is a layout.json file and a layout.json.bak file which I haven't scene before, but I have no idea why it's not working

Well, i am sorry to hear that. If you want help maybe you can explain in PM what you mean by "doesnt" work. Not showing up ? Crashing ?
I tested again myself, see no issue.
json.bak file is normal, but you can delete it if you like to try...

Wow, amazingly detailed mod! Thank you! Even some interiors. I’ve visited Mount Wilson and used to live within sight of the antennas and domes up there (near Pasadena, CA). Visible when it wasn’t very smoggy anyway (I lived there in the 80s). Your other observatories look great too. I’ve installed them all and started an astronomy tour. For those unfamiliar with Mt. Wilson, the PDF here is a good start as is this video. https://youtu.be/eJXAFIS7gNY
