How to make airport add-ons compatible with our sceneries

Since Sim Update 12, you need to manually disable aerial images included in airport add-ons in order for our textures to show up.

This is how to do it:

  1. Open the folder of the airport add-on: MSFS-Installation\Community\[Canary Islands airport add-on]
  2. Look for a file called “layout.json” and save a copy of this file to another location so that you can restore it if necessary.
  3. Now open the original “layout.json” file that was left in the airport add-on’s folder with Windows Editor.
  4. Look for the lines which mention a CGL file (they are always at the top of the layout.json file; if not, there is nothing to do). Then delete the following (highlighted) section and save your changes:

This will disable aerial images included in airport add-ons eliminating the conflict with our textures.

You need to do this with MK-Studios Fuerteventura, MK-Studios Tenerife Airports, Sim-Wings La Gomera, Sim-Wings La Palma, Sim-Wings Gran Canaria and Sim-Wings Tenerife Sur. JustFlight’s Lanzarote and Wolkenblau’s Tenerife North do not contain aerial images, so there’s nothing to do here.
