Using my tried and trusted methods for modifying stock airports (I have done over 300 up till now), I have been attempting to 'improve 'BIKF' to add more parking (there is loads of unused apron space) and allocate parking codes where appropriate for my AI traffic.
So I added loads of parking spots and allocated parking codes plus some odds and ends of 'improvements' that I like to see at airports. I haven't added anything that would require me to alter the airport background so the 'stock' background should still be OK. Check for errors and save. Compile to new bgl which I put in the Addon Scenery/scenery folder. Load up into FSXA and have a look around only to find that there are areas within the airport background where vegetation is apparent on aprons (see photo) and taxiways. Go back and check the stock version in FSXA (having turned off Addon Scenery in the scenery library) and find the same vegetation situation exists.
Can the original background be at fault? In my revised layout, I position a Terrain Polygon-Exclude General-Airport Backgrounds on the edge of the apparent airport background. Save, compile, etc. Back into FSXA - only part of the background has disappeared. It actually takes 10 of these Terrain Polygons to totally eliminate the stock background. Using the SDK TMFViewer to look at this background does not give any idea that this is the situation. So now I add a totally new background - Terrain Polygon-Airport Background-FlattenMaskClassMapExcludeAutogen. Save, compile, etc. Back into FSXA - most unwanted vegetation has gone but still loads in the NE corner of the terminal aprons as shown in photo.
1. Why would the original stock background have been formed out of so many sections? I have had an example where I have found that 2 exclusion were required but not this many. And why can ADE 'get away with' adding just one exclusion that does the same job?
2. Has anyone got any suggestions as to how to get rid of the unwanted vegetation. I have not got any other addon scenery that should affect Iceland. ADE File Priority Analyser only shows my file plus the stock items. I have tried to place a Terrain Polygon-Exclude General-Everything over the area of vegetation but it remains.
Thoughts and ideas welcomed.

Updated AFCAD file for P3D BIKF - Keflavik International Airport airport serving Reykjavik by MK-Stuidios. March 2020. Correct parking codes are used for the current airlines flying to Keflavik Airport as per Winter 2020. Info from Flightradar24, wiki and Keflavik airport website.
