Dear all,
after some tests I marked the mod as compatible to Sim Update 5, because there was no reason to assume that standards could be affected negatively and because standard assets are also used in the more complex mods by edpatino (CAR\Venezuela), which he also tested and marked as compatible.
But even AI buildings are now partially missing textures, as I happened to notice yesterday in UTDD. Also the function of jetways in mods created before Sim Update 5 is no longer guaranteed.
Basically, the mod is compatible, but there may still be unpleasant surprises here or there, for which we are not responsible.
The sim update including the 2 hotfixes has partially ruined not only the simulator, numerous mods, but especially the editor: the horizon constantly rolls to the side, some objects float when placed, grouping objects - indispensable for larger projects - has become completely impossible and much more ...
If you want to know more about problems with the editor, you can start here ...

This is all incredibly frustrating because there would be over 200 airports to open, check and re-save here. I can't do that in terms of time.
I'm really sorry, but for these reasons there will be no updates for this mod until after the next sim update.
Also already planned or almost finished new airports are affected and postponed.
After that I will see if it is possible to continue with the project.
Thanks to all for your understanding and thanks to Asobo for the nice surprise.

We have to raise the (quality) bar a bit.
All mods will work perfectly with the MSFS Basic version but it is recommended to have the MSFS Premium version installed to ensure that all included objects appear in your sim. Other versions (Standard and Deluxe) will work, but some items may not appear.
It is highly recommended to have all free World updates installed.
Do not forget to check the dependencies. You must have them installed to get the full experience.
Additionally to assets on flightsim.to you should download these static planes: www.jpfil.com/quebec-fs2020/scenes/Collection-avions.zip

Does this possibly affect 3rd party airports? I wouldn't want this mod overlapping
over 3 years ago
It will affect Vanilla and 3rd party airports for sure, but if you download the mod, you'll find that you easily can remove airports. There is a folder structure for the World/ICAO regions and within these folders you'll find folders with the names of the airports. Just delete the ones you don't need.

Sorry, but abj is correct. How about the below as quoted from the 'external project website'!
"Lights & more for dark & deserted AI airports, categorized by ICAO regions. The goal is to build a worldwide network of mostly ILS or RNAV equipped airports for short/mid range flights. We are adding lights, missing hangars, terminals and jetways, a tower - depending on the default assets, if available similar to the real objects and locations. If the airport is ILS-equipped we add ILS arrays & glideslope antennas, VOR installations. Some vegetation will be added here & there, if it can be identified on sat images. It's not a compete redesign of airports, just a scenery overlay to give you more immersion, especially at night. The download provides you with a directory structure sorted by ICAO regions and countries within these regions that can easily be used with addon linkers. You have full flexibility, use them all or choose what you need."

For real...but he was very clear to let us know that there was no reason to assume that standards could be affected negatively and because standard assets are also used in the more complex mods by edpatino...thats good to know...we were all wondering your justification for not assuming.

Is this compatible with sim update 8?

I believe LSZH needs to be altered as it appears to add duplicate objects and possible elevation conflicts.
