How To Override Streamed Airport Content MSFS2024

[mattY]

Whilst we recognise that there is currently no option to disable streamed airport content via the content manager in-sim, we have a temporary work-around to override streamed airports in MSFS2024, this will allow you to use 3rd party airport addons without conflicting scenery packages being loaded in unison.

Please note, this requires changing some folder names and could break content, therefore we suggest you backup any folders you intend to make these changes to. Products will not show as installed once the name is changed, you will have to manually uninstall. PC ONLY.

Steps to override streamed airport content:

1. Download chosen product from the iniManager.
2. Navigate to your MSFS2024 community folder.
3. Find the downloaded product folder and change the folder name as described below:
   • If downloading either LOWI or EGSS, you can rename the "inibuilds-airport-...." package to one of the following respective names;
     LOWI - 'asobo-airport-lowi-innsbruck'
     EGSS - 'microsoft-airport-egss-stansted'
     
     Otherwise;
      
4. If you are looking for another airport to override the streaming for, you can navigate to your \StreamedPackages folder found here:
   - Steam: %APPDATA%\Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024\StreamedPackages
   - MS Store: %LOCALAPPDATA%\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalState\StreamedPackages
5. If there is a custom scenery provided by Asobo/Microsoft for the airport you are trying to override, locate the folder, copy the folder name and then overwrite the downloaded scenery package in your regular community folder to the same name. This will force the community folder package to be read instead of any streamed version.

We hope that once the Marketplace is made available in sim that this issue is resolved, however in the meantime, please make use of this work-around to enjoy MSFS2024 to the fullest! 

Happy flying!✈️
