--- Update ---
GAYA released a new version of that airport - WITHOUT static aircrafts! Yeah! I will remove this fix here soon when all platforms are providing the new version.

This small patch removes the static aircrafts on gates and stands of GAYAs LOWW Vienna International airport (Link) for a better online flying experience. No more "Errr.. Wien Ground, this gate is blocked by a static aircraft on my scenary - can you give me another gate please...."!
The animated aircrafts in the maintenance area are still there and one GA aircraft in front of a hangar aswell. The gates or stands previously occupied by static aircrafts are still not selectable as a departure position on the world map. For arrivals these gates are working including jetways.
Installation
Copy the directory in the ZIP file into the Community-Folder.
Notes
- This is tested with the stand alone version of the airport. MSFS ingame Marketplace version is untested.
- This is not an official patch from GAYA and there is no support from GAYA around issues involving this patch! But GAYA is fine with having it here.
- No files from the original GAYA scenary were modified.
- If the patch is not working make sure that the patch is listed somewhere BELOW the depending airport scenery in the Content.xml of MSFS. The Content.xml is located here:
Sim from Marketplace:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache
Sim from Steam:
C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft Flight Simulator

Any way to make this not require content.xml editing? I use Addon Linker and often remove and add the scenery depending on where I'm flying, so modifying the content.xml would get annoying every time to make sure. Thanks!

I am also using Addon Linker but had never to do anything in the content.xml related to this patch. But - I put this patch directly in the /community and let it not manage by Addon Linker. On top of that I use zzz_ prefix for the folder.

could you please do this for the ORBX LOWI scenery? thx
2 years ago
Not possible due to the design of LOWI. The statics are not single objects. :(

I tried to use it the last weeks, but even with the mod placed on the bottom end of the content.xml, all static aircraft remained visible. I fixed it, by deleting the .xml and let it rebuild by the sim. Now all works fine!

This is top notch. Thank you so much. Will this work if I purchased LOWW in the marketplace?

Yes, someone mentioned that it works also with the market place version. I am not able to test it.

Can someone help me or tell me what I'm doing wrong. Both files can be seen in the Content.xml and in the Community folder, but unfortunately the planes are still there. Should anyone have an idea, please let us know.
thank you

Make sure the patch is in the content.xml "below/after" the airport to have a correct loading order.

I would love but unfortunately the way LOWI is modelled from the developer it does not allow to remove single objects.

Would it be possible for you to change the gate definitions from small to Medium/Large? I think thats still a Problem using AIG that no A320 or bigger are able to spawn at the C/D/F gates
