Do you have the same issue if you follow the OP’s steps to reproduce it?
• Yes

Provide extra information to complete the original description of the issue:
• The setting “Traffic Airport Quality” description says: “Adjust the density, quality and display distance for airport traffic”.
• When set to Medium, many of the parking spots are still occupied, and because density and display distance are not separated, it often leads to static aircraft populating the parking spots as the user camera gets closer.

If relevant, provide additional screenshots/video:

You can set the density with the Traffic Airport Quality option in the General Settings > Graphics menu, but it’s still crazy at Medium setting.
