Found a strange issue scanning and loading XP12 sceneries. I have the "x-Prefab FSE Airports" packages linked from another drive in the Custom Scenery folder but they're disabled in the scenery_packs.ini file. Yet, even after multiple re-scans with LNM, the airport (SPYL) for this library is loaded and displayed. Only if I actually remove the shortcuts do they get removed from the LNM map.

After some more checking it seems all the "x-prefab" airports are loaded as long as they're present or linked there despite them being disabled in the .ini file. It only seems to happen with this specific scenery package.

For reference this is the package in question: Prefab scenery for 25000 airports - Scenery Packages - X-Plane.Org Forum

It's very handy as it adds some basic airport scenery to many small strips that are in the XP database but otherwise empty. Incidentally, it would be super useful to have a dedicated filter for this package under airport types to quickly eliminate the clutter just for this set.

No issues here. Changing SCENERY_PACK to SCENERY_PACK_DISABLED lets LNM omit the airport. Make sure this option in the loading dialog is unchecked:

Yes, that option is disabled for me. Strange. How do I clean all the caches of LNM? Maybe that would help...

Any tips for the specific filter for this package I mentioned?

There are no caches. Loading the scenery library directly fills a new database from simulator files. Deleting the database or reloading it multiple times does not help since it is always built from scratch.

Check if you have any entries in options on page "Scenery Library Database".
I just tested this here, and it works even with symbolic links. After disabling an add-on airport in scenery_packs.ini I see the stock airport again.
