OpenCPN doesn't want to display oeSENC Charts (OpenPlotter)

I'm having a little trouble with my OpenCPN and before I contact oeSENC tech support I thought I'd check to see if I'm missing anything obvious.

I've got it up and running on OpenPlotter, I've enabled the oeSENC plugin, opened the tab in the chart window and registered the chart set (UK & NL) to my hardware configuration.

Its then downloaded the charts, unzipped them and then spent about 5 minutes as it processed them all, I accepted the disclaimer. Apparently they should now be displaying but they aren't, all I can see is the base map.

I removed the charts & re-downloaded and its the same. I've set the chart to Mariner Standard (and every other option) but to no avail.

Next I tried downloading the HD basemap just to see if I could get any chart to display. Unfortunately with the basemap downloaded I don't even have any chart at all, its just blank where the chart would be.

Has anyone experienced anything similar?
Thanks

A few tips.
Have the ' Show chart outlines enabled' on, then you should see a tleast the chart limits.
Make a chartgroup for the oeSenc charts, add the charts to this group and activate it.
Check the position of OpenCPN. (Are you not somewhere in the pacific).

And make sure that you are using the actual versions of OpenCPN and the oeSENC plug-in: 4.8.8 and 2.4
For example OCPN 4.8.2 or 4.8.4 will not display the charts.

This was it.
For some reason I had the latest plugin, but not the latest OpenCPN.

Works perfectly now, thanks!
