:o

That's not good. I've never encountered that in XP, do you have the newest update, 10.22?

Yup.. 10.22 64-bit.

It did the same thing to be in my home airport (KOGD). The structures seem fairly permanent, even surviving restarts of X-Plane. Fortunately, the plane will fly right through them.. so I can't hit the buildings.

I recall this happening when they added the new artwork and buildings to XP10. You should file it with Laminar so they can potentially address it.

I'm definitely no expert on this subject, but I believe it is possible to place an exclusion zone around airports such that the XP default scenery generator will not place any buildings there. This involves using the World Editor tool (WED) to create your own custom scenery package, or you can edit an existing package. There is a mention of the Exclusion tool in this link to the WED manual.
