Needs a bit of updating but is the only correct version of KPHL in the game

Can you please rename the modelib.bgl file to something else:
\avasims-airport-kphl-philadelphia\scenery\global\scenery\modellib.bgl
This is a default name that the SDK gives out, and can cause conflicts and CTD's if a user has other addons that use the same name.
FS Addon Linker has a utility to rename this for anyone who has installed this scenery.
