Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:
- Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
- Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
- Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
- Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
- Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
- Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.
Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.
By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.
Exclusions not working

Taxiways are not excluded using an <ExclusionRectangle>
instead they are excluded using a DeleteAllTaxiways="TRUE" in the <DeleteAirport> area.
3D objects are indeed excluded using <ExclusionRectangle>, with the DeleteLibraryObjects="TRUE".
However...keep in mind, if you're in the western hemisphere, your Minimum Longitude is going to be the WESTERNMOST longitude of your exclusion rectangle.
I just posted to someone else about that same problem, and it's a common thing to happen if you are designing in the western hemisphere. Failure to have min long as the west side of the box will result in the exclusion rectangle not functioning...but the compiler will accept it.

I'm not sure how much of your airport that covers, but in order for taxiway signs to be excluded you need to exclude the master taxiway sign. if you don't then the taxiway signs won't be excluded. The best way to do this is to create an exclusion rectangle that covers all the taxiway signs in the airport. Make this exclusion rectangle exclude only taxiway signs. Then all the original taxiway signs will be removed.
This will leave you with no taxiway signs at all. So you need to make sure you specify that taxiway signs are written to the bgl file. This will allow you to change the taxiway signs at your airport.
