But below this area of the field you can see a huge block of apron when loading the stock LFPG, even though this does not show in the sim, remove it and you lose sections of taxiways which you would then have to rebuild. So i have no idea why it does this. When you delete you see 'clear surface' underneath that layer of apron which should be on top i guess.ADE loads what is sees in the airport bgl file. I assume that the sim loads the enhanced airport when you select the ICAO but to be honest I have not checked. Be aware that some of the aprons shown in ADE have a CLEAR_SURFACE which would not show in Sim

That may be because of the order that aprons are drawn in ADE. It uses the order specified from FSX which may be changed now since there was no clear surface back then. You can remove drawing layer constraints which should allow you to order items in the ADE display as you wish. This ordering does not have any effect in sim.When you delete you see 'clear surface' underneath that layer of apron which should be on top i guess.
Hi. Where do you find the .bgl files for premium de luxe or de luxe airports? I have searched but thought I hade to resort to the stock/default airports.So i have discovered that Premium package airports such as LHR or CDG are strange when loading into ADE. As seen below it loads in with huge surface areas of aprons whereas in the sim these are not there, so why does ADE load them like this?

My current versions:Sorry but I don't see asobo-airport-egll-heathrow. Same for LEMD, EHAM and EDDF. not under microsoft-airport-.. Perhaps I am missing an update. What folder are you looking in for these?
Clear as a surface type is new in MSFS and if an airport with clear surface aprons is loaded into ADE they may be in the wrong priority order. That is ADE shows them above other apron surfaces where they should be beneath to let other aprons show through. There is a way to draw clear surface aprons lower in the drawing order in ADE. What I need to do is identify the actual drawing order for apron surfaces in MSFS.To add to my (and perhaps your) confusion, almost all green areas with clear_surface in LFPG disappear just from opening the enhanced LFPG.bgl of MSFS2020 in ADE, and recompiling it without any changes. However, that might be possible to manipulate through other means. Just being able to change/correct taxiways and taxi signs is rewarding.
