Welcome all and here we have ver. 2 of Sywell Aerodrome!
After having a HDD fail and all work lost we have had to start again on version 2. this has a few more new models added including Sloane Helicopters hangar and fire trucks as well as a few small items and changes. Now there are 2 interactive fuel areas, the main fuel kiosk and the helipad H box at Sloane's, so now you can refuel both aircraft and helicopters at this airfield.
To install, simply delete the existing Sywell Aerodrome and add this one to the community folder.

This is still a work in progress with future updates to come.

I see the Sloane Aviation hangars and animated wind generator, but for some reason only the original static RAF Flag for some reason. Am I doing something wrong?

If you are ever re-visiting this, could you check the rwy 14/32 headings? I think they are flipped the wrong way round. And if it's possible to change the other grass runways to grass texture so they are not shown as "asphalt" in the sim and in LNM?
Thank you.
EDIT: All sorted now after the update thank you.

Here is a bit more information that I have copied from a support reply that I saw for another airport addon:
"Reason I was asking about other airports is that there's a known issue with the SDK whereby if someone has included custom ground vehicles for another airport, or included them in their project without setting up all the vehicles, it will remove them from all the other airports too."

ah ok. we didnt add any ground vehicles to Sywell, the ideas of the airportservices for us was to remove any ground vehicles as you dont see them at the real Sywell. Hope they fix the sdk to resolve this

I thought you may like some feedback. I was hopeful that this latest release, version 2.0.3, would correct the ground services not appearing in the sim at any airport for me. However, even with this release I am finding ground services disabled elsewhere.
Editing the layout.json file to remove the first entry:
{
"path": "AirportServices/EGBK/EGBKservices.xml.txt",
"size": 484,
"date": 132933892219695087
},
and also deleting the directory AirportServices restores ground services elsewhere.
It is possible that this release will work for others. I do have some other add on airports which also have an AirportServices directory as part of the package and those airports are not causing issues elsewhere. Hence it may be a conflict arising between these different add on airport directories which is leading to the issue appearing at my end.

hi. Im really not sure. We found removing it from the the package before building in the sdk and then manually placing it in the built package solved this me and nightmare9t9. It stops service at sywell but everywhere else works for both of us do I really don’t know why it is causing issues due others but not us

I don't know if it helps but there is the following comment on the EGBW Wellesbourne Mountford addon page:
https://flightsim.to/file/1191/egbw-wellesbourne-mountford-airfield
Just read this:
"To developers, if you have an AirportServices file in your project to remove airport services. Remove it.
SU8 make some changes and doesn't like this file anymore. Remove that airportservice asset group, make sure upon build it gets removed from your .layout file.
If you don't anyone who downloads your scenery will get affected by 0 airport service from any airport.

Hi. Ok thank you. From some testing we have found if we remove the airportservices from the package to be built. And then manually add the xml file in the output package it seems to work. It only seems to affect airports for us if we leave it in the packagesources and then build it as a the sdk converts it to a Sbp file. 2 of us are testing this and we both have the same result

Hi. Unfortunately this airport still disables ground services for all other major airports in the sim. Please sort this out as many people will struggle to identify the issue.
2 years ago
We have tried our end and with our scenery and it seems to causes no issues with any other airports, only disabling the services at Sywell. At other airports we can still access fuel, pushback etc. Before making the changes we had the same issue as yourself, but after the changes we no longer have this issue.

Absolutely stunning! Looks wonderful, with lots of fun details. Glad you rebuilt it, and hope you have cloud backups of your dev work now! (I had to rebuild my first airport, which was much simpler, so I feel your pain.)

Thank you for the kind words. Yes I have made sure I have back ups now just in case.

Unfortunately this is another airport that disables all ground services in the sim. As I understand it this has something to do with the GroundServices folder. i look forward to an updated version. Cheers.

unfortunately I’m not sure what we can do to sort that out. We are using the same service.xml as in our older version which was causing no issues so I’m guessing this is more of an sim/sdk update issue. We will look into it to though.
