Go to scenery packs.ini and set the aerosoft Glasgow scenery to SCENERY PACKS_DISABLED. I've reported a bug saying the old aerosoft scenery should be removed.
This scenery will only work with xplane 11, if you have xplane 10 then you'll have error messages in the log file regarding new art assets.
Scenery is out of date in a number of areas.
Stands 5 and 9 are now perpendicular to the pier and not angled as shown in the sim. Stands 6, 6A, 7, 8 all need to be checked as well.
Stand 5 is missing from the list of available startup positions and is occupied by objects (baggage carts etc) in the sim.
Stand 30 was renovated to accommodate the A380 and now features a triple air bridge - see https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-47894462 for information and a few photos
Stand 31 is missing completely
Stands 37/37L/37R and the pavement in this area is missing.
Stands 80/81/82 are generally only used for storing aircraft, they don't operate services. Recently British Airways A319/320 aircraft have been parked here pointing away from the control tower (the opposite way to how a stand would normally operate).
Taxiway C (the old crosswind runway) is no longer in use as a taxiway
There are areas of forest and individual trees placed outside the airport boundary which aren't there in real life.
There is a mix of touchdown zone marker styles on the runway - RWY23 has the international style but RWY05 still has the UK style. They should both be international style.
Stand numbers (painted on the tarmac) aren't shown in the sim which isn't a major problem due to the small size of the airport but would still be nice to have them added.
And, a couple of small issues - the static aircraft outside the British Airways maintenence hangar (off taxiway K) isn't a BA aircraft. Last time I was there in real life, they were doing an engine test on a BA A320. Finally it needs some roads exclusion zones as the sim is drawing normal roads over the roads that have been modelled in the airport scenery.
I have tried to capture everything but I'm sure I've missed something!
OK, so far I've added the Gama apron and reworked the ground roads around it, and decomissioned taxiway C between the runway and the main taxiway. I have also removed some random forests and trees, some outside the airport boundary, that aren't even there in real life.
However the lion's share of the work is still to be done. The more I look the more there is to do, it's clearly going to be a lot of work. I am learning WED as I go and I don't have a lot of time to spend on it (not only that but I actually want to do some flying now and again as well!), so it's likely to take many more weeks.
I will be putting some hours in over the UK bank holiday next weekend so should be making some serious progress. However if anyone else wants to pick this up and do it faster than I can, then please message me and I can release the lock and send you what I've done so far. The most important thing is the issues get fixed.
I have been making quite a lot of progress but I will not complete my work before the lock expires, so, if anyone is thinking of working on EGPF please contact me, either on here or on the .org forum (user name = asbrown)
Uploaded now - I am aware there are still some markings missing (STOP markers on the B category stands) and some cosmetic issues but I think all the stand numbers, signs etc are now correct to the latest charts. I will make a further update in due course so if anyone spots anything please let me know. Happy flying!
Issues resolved and some additional cosmetic improvements done, but I can't upload to the gateway due to version mismatch, I guess due to me running 12.06 beta which I don't want to downgrade back to 12.05. I will hold onto it until 12.06 goes to full release and WED will let me upload to the gateway.

I downloaded and installed this pack into XP10 but I got an error message on startup, and there were no buildings (like a default X-Plane airport).

Taxiway T1 and the Gama (maintenance) apron are missing. See attached excerpt from the Glasgow aerodrome chart.

I'm working on this now, in fact the Gama apron is the first bit I've started on. Lots more work to do (see my report below!)

I should add, taxiway C comment refers to section between the RWY and the main taxiway - I think the other portion is still in use by the GA apron.

I think all of this was fixed by the latest version of the person that reported the bug, thank you!
