NewGRF disappears
I have a small problem, my NewGRFs that I've downloaded are disappearing. I always download NewGRFs in-game. The one in particular I cannot find is the ECS-FIRS vehicle set. It says I have downloaded it, and I can see it in my files in my computer folder, but it does not appear in the NewGRF settings screen. The vehicle set worked fine for me a few months back. I came back to play openttd again and now I'm finding it missing somehow.

I use the Steam version.
Re: NewGRF disappears
Are you using version 1.11.2, 12.0-beta1 or 12.0-beta2?

1.11.2. Should I update?
Re: NewGRF disappears
Did you open the NewGRF settings screen from the main menu, or during a running game? In the latter case, you'll only see NewGRFs that are active for this particular game.
Re: NewGRF disappears
I am looking at the NewGRF settings window from the main menu when I boot up the game.
I discovered I am also missing the North American Renewal set. Again, it says it has been downloaded but does not appear in either the Inactive or Active NewGRF file windows in game.

Re: NewGRF disappears
No need to, I just needed to know what version you were using to see if I could replicate it. Sometimes when versions of OpenTTD are updated its possible that a poorly-created NewGRF, or one that has a previously undiscovered bug, could be left out. I checked with all the versions of the two NewGRFs you mentioned and I could not replicate this issue, and both of these NewGRFs are popular enough that if there was a bug that they would have been quickly reported.
You may want to file an official report over on Github: https://github.com/OpenTTD/OpenTTD/issues

Re: NewGRF disappears
Incidentally, do you use a cloud storage service like OneDrive? I've seen some reports on Steam of OpenTTD behaving wonky when the OpenTTD folder is synchronized with such a cloud service... nothing exactly like you're experiencing but might be worth asking anyway.
