For those flying General Aviation in Microsoft Flight Simulator and looking for a more immersive experience at remote strips, bush airfields, or smaller airports, a new freeware add-on called "Remove Ground Services in all Airports" offers a solution to remove unwanted ground service clutter. Developed with simplicity and compatibility in mind, this add-on eliminates the presence of fuel trucks, pushback vehicles, marshallers, GPU carts, and other service workers that are typically found at parking spots, even in locations where they are not contextually appropriate.
The add-on comes in two configurations. One option disables ground services across all parking ramps and gates at every airport globally, including major airline hubs. The other configuration removes ground services only from General Aviation parking spots, leaving services intact for commercial operations. You can choose which version to use by selecting the corresponding folder before placing it in your Community folder.
This add-on is compatible with both MSFS2020 and MSFS2024. According to the developer, it does not conflict with third-party utilities such as GSX or Toolbar Pushback, as long as pushback operations are used on parking spots that have services disabled. However, the developer notes that other ground service add-ons may potentially conflict with it. To install, unzip the downloaded file and move only one of the two folders — depending on your preference — into your Community folder. Be aware that if you use the "ALL" version, no ground services will be available anywhere, including at airline terminals.
