GUID Conflict between SDK Sample and UK World Update

While investigating a problem that some users believed it was related in one of sceneries (it wasn't), we found a problem in one of the airports included in the UK World Update, namely EGPR - Barra Airport.

This scenery use the same GUID b5a61705-97ef-4cc3-a058-4eb7743564cf, which is normally assigned to the "SampleMyBox" from the SDK, to create a custom object named "EGPR_11 Sign"

This results in users that have both the UK World Update and the "SimpleScenery" package from the SDK seeing a big "11" sign on the left side of RWY 14 at MYNN, instead of the big checkered Box from the Sample.

I suggest replacing the GUID at EGPR - Barra, because I'm sure copying it from the SDK sample was an oversight and would confuse lots of users trying to follow the sample.

Hello @MazerMart

Do you mean you still have the problem with that particular object?
From what I can see, its GUID has been changed and is no longer conflicting with the SDK sample:

Where is the scenery shown in your picture coming from? Is it one you are working on?

Can you check what the GUID of this object is in both packages? (using the BGLExplorer tool provided with the SDK)

Drag and drop the microsoft-airport-egpr-barra\scenery\microsoft\Barra-Airport\modelLib.BGL file on BGLExplorer.exe and it will display the list of objects with their respective GUID.

"EGPR Signs_11" object should have the GUID 3a744daa-2bdc-423a-46ff-3563995860b1

As far as I know, the GUID has been changed when the issue was reported so I'm surprised we still have conflicts with this.
