Eventually figured it out even though it probably isn't the correct method. I deleted the ezs.bgl file from the add-on scenery folder and all airport ground vehicles are now gone.

 

If they are static objects then it should be possible to use an exclusion rectangle but it not then it seems your fix works provided it doesn't remove other stuff you would rather keep

This is for FSX?

You can't exclude stock ILS but ADE provides a way to orphan a stock ILS so that it doesn't interfere with an added one

deleting a default airport is a big no-no.

 

A default airport file contains several airports. Not just one. Deleting the file would delete them all and cause big issues.

 

 

That is indeed correct. Any changes you make should be in the addon airport. If it completely hides the default airport then I am not sure why you want to remove it

Yes it is there but does seem that the runways etc are well clear of the reference point

 

That's OK and expected. ADE will only display options for the sims that are installed. You would need P3D v4 installed to actually compile for that version. However if you open ADE for FSX you can create an airport and compile it for FSX. The bgl files created need to be added to the P3D v4 installation and then, if there is nothing unexpected, the user should see a working airport

 

If it works all well and good. If not then you can send me the FSX project and I will recompile it for P3D v4.5

Not sure what you mean. ADE supports P3D v4.5 but if you want to use it and you don't have that version installed then you won't be able to use it. If you have FSX then you can compile for FSX and try it in P3D v4.5 It may well work

Have you tried using several smaller images?
