There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Went through there on the way back from Florence about a year ago, late departure from Florence and held up in the stack waiting to land. Basically resigned to spending the night before we landed, ended up with something reminiscent of the airport dash in Home Alone.

The German air controllers at Frankfurt Airport are renowned as a short- tempered lot. They not only expect one to know one's gate parking location, but how to get there without any assistance from them. So it was with some amusement that we (a Pan Am 747) listened to the following exchange between Frankfurt ground control and a British Airways 747, call sign Speedbird 206.
Speedbird 206: "Frankfurt, Speedbird 206 clear of active runway." Ground: "Speedbird 206. Taxi to gate Alpha One-Seven."
The BA 747 pulled onto the main taxiway and slowed to a stop.
Ground: "Speedbird 206, do you not know where you are going?"
Speedbird 206: "Stand by Ground, I'm looking up our gate location now."
Ground (arrogantly): "Speedbird 206, have you not been to Frankfurt before?"
Speedbird 206 (coolly): "Yes, twice in 1944 - however, it was dark and I didn't land."

Guess the same lot must include their access security officers as well, those who always order me to take off my pants belt before going through the security arch ignoring my allegations that it doesn't include metallic parts, or the same who confiscated me a pair of beer cans I carried for a gift, ignoring the fact that I was in transit between two EU airports, and the beer had been bought in the origin airport's duty-free area.

Emirates once took a bottle of water off me, purchased from a vending machine at the gate while in transit!
And by some crazy co-incidence, limited water available on the flight (14 hours).
So SIngapore Airlines for me, then.
Where at Heathrow last month they told me to take off the belt. (Later heard there was a "Security Issue" in Singapore)
Then the shoes, because I backchatted.
I shut up after they started patting me down, on the spot.
Upside is we missed, by one flight cycle, SQ321, the one that plastered the occupants to the ceiling and broke necks, spines etc.
Airline flying is such fun... in a flightsim.
Great to have EDDF!

I have MSFS Premium, Store version and it comes with EDDF.
I've looked into my "Content Manager" and there is no possibility to remove the EDDF airport individually, but there is a folder for it.
My pathway is : C:\Users\Flame\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Official\OneStore\asobo-airport-eddf-frankfurt
Could I move this folder to my desktop, install the Avioteck Simulation / Orbx version and undo the process in reverse order if I do not like this freeware version?
Thanks for any help.

The simplest way is to change the file extension of the two json files in that folder. That way, the contents of the folder isn't read or recognized anymore.
