Fixing ground issues and duplicated scenery issues due to default handcrafted scenery (EDDM, EDDF, EDDS)

World Updates in Microsoft Flight Simulator along with the Standard and Premium editions of the simulator include handcrafted airports. These airports are considered their own scenery items within the simulator, and as such, installing a scenery addon for an airport that is already handcrafted in the simulator will cause issues due to have two sceneries installed for the same airport.

The effects of this can differ depending on the airport, however, it may cause conflicts such as uneven terrain or duplicated buildings. To fix this issue, you will need to delete or disable the Asobo enhanced version of the scenery item you have installed. You can do this by performing the steps listed below, where sim-wings Munich has been used as an example, however, the same steps can be applied by simply substituting the airport name in each step.

3. Scroll and select EDDM MUNICH AIRPORT from the list, and click the delete button.
