SUMU.threshold.xml) and no parking point is shown !!
Your Terrain and SUMU.BTZ files are merely a cover of paint over ground. they have no functional impact on anything EXCEPT for Elevation as they define the ground level (on which aircrafts land and roll)
Layout showed on startup screen and runway / navigation data is taken from Global APT.DAT (not your SUMU.BTG) this is why the layout shown is the Terrasync one.
You can bypass the global APT dat with a custom one (generated from your new SUMU WED Layout) : See
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=30734&p=297392&hilit=navdata%2Fapt#p297392No need to turn off terrasync. for as long as your launcher has a path defined to your custom sceneries these will take precedent over Terrasync Data
Groundnet/Starting position on Launcher : The gates I created for the groundnet should show up on the launcher start screen (They are all named G-xx as as per the connecting taxiway), independently of any change in scenery terrain or btg so it looks like FG does not detect the custom groundnet. Most likely you are not pointing your launcher to the right location (even if looks ok from the paths provided below)

--enable-ai-models
--enable-ai-traffic
Are you using windows ? The path you're showing seems to indicate your scenery lives in your User Profile (C: Drive) as it has the same pathway than your preferences.
Always a good idea to have FG installs and Custom Sceneries in another partition than C: because of read/write restrictions. As far as I know Win10 saves your preferences to C:\User\MYNAME\AppData\Roaming\Flightgear

Would you give me a link to download the good ones?
Shouldn't you take a copy before modifying a system file ?
There are different ways to get these files from the main repository but in your case I would recommend a reinstall (which will not erase your scenery work for as long as it does not live in a subfolder of FG's main program)

No relationship to Groundnet / AI at all (aircraft will always show above the ground, on the 'hill') BUT this signals an issue with your WED scenery: Either it has not boundary either it is misplaced. Terragear always flatten the area within the Boundary and sets it at Airport elevation. See
viewtopic.php?f=5&t=22556&hilit=tunnelBottom line, we have no "System incoming AI issue as far as I can see", only misinstall/misuse.
Please raise your sceneries issues (if the above does not address them) in the Sceneries forum.
