• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

Removing Planes & Vehicles From Ramp

Hello,

I have simple issue which I can't solve - how to remove static planes and vehicles from Ramps? I have bunch of "RAMP_GA_SMALL" in my local scenery airport, but MSFS is automatically spawning there static planes, vehicles as forklifts, vans,... - how can I prevent from spawning there anything? Currently, it's creating bizarre situations:

Spawning of vehicles can be easily turned off with Living World config, with this code I can eliminate all of unwanted vehicles:

<SimBase.Document>
<LivingWorld.LivingWorldSettings>
<GeneralSettings>
<AmbientVehiclesQuantityByParking>
<ParkingEntry ParkingType="RAMP_GA_SMALL" Rate="0"/>
</AmbientVehiclesQuantityByParking>
<ParkedAircraftsQuantityByParking>
<ParkingEntryWeighted ParkingType="RAMP_GA_SMALL" Rate="0" GoodToBadMatchRate="0"/>
<ParkingEntryWeighted ParkingType="RAMP_GA_MEDIUM" Rate="0" GoodToBadMatchRate="0"/>
</ParkedAircraftsQuantityByParking>
<FrequencyOfServicesOnEmptyParkings Rate="0"/>
<RatioOfAmbientVehiclesThatAreImmobile Rate="0"/>
</GeneralSettings>
</LivingWorld.LivingWorldSettings>
</SimBase.Document>

However Living World Config File affects the whole world (I know it can be changed to regions only, but I want to remove static planes and vehicles only from my airport (LKFR) which as far as I know can't be with Living World done). I have read in some topic that changing Ramps to Military will remove vehicles, but that's also not wanted... Please, how can be this done?
 
You're in the right spot with the living world but Asobo allows editing single airports as well using the services.xml. This can be made specifically for a single airport using its ICAO code as quoted from this page:

The Services.xml main file describes what services will be created at each airport (and mention the script files to use them), as well as the parameters controlling the position and frequency of creation of such services. A file in Shared will describe any airport that does not have a specific folder named after its ICAO code in any package.


In order to include such files in your own package, just make sure your package contain a direct folder named AirportServices, which contains one or multiple folders whose names are ICAOs or Shared, and that each of these subfolders contain a file Services.xml or Services.spb (*.spb are compiled *.xml). Also make sure any script file (xml or spb) is contained in AirportServices or one of its sub-folders. We recommend using a unique prefix (such as your company name) to name your script files.

As far as I know, even applying this to a single ICAO will still remove the service vehicles from the entire region, which may eclipse several countries.
