When an airport is ‘locked’, this informs the community that someone is working on it. To avoid two or more artists working on the same airport, the Gateway has a ‘lock’ feature.
If the airport does not yet exist on the Gateway, you will need to log in and file a New Airport Code Request Airport Locking If this airport is found on the Gateway, select it in the grid. If you already have an airport in mind, you may search for it by identifier or name. The ‘Wanted Airports’ button is a great place to start – this feature provides a list of airports that are missing scenery or have old scenery that needs updating. Select the ‘Airports’ option from the menu. Visit and log in using your artist name. Register as a new scenery artist here on the Gateway website. Airport submissions that have a status of “Recommended” (by the moderator) at the moment of capture will appear in X-Plane. Laminar Research thanks all artists for contributing their work to the Airport Scenery Gateway.Īirport submissions are captured by Laminar Research periodically from the Gateway, for inclusion into a future release of X-Plane. Note: This document assumes familiarity with X-Plane World Editor (WED). Submissions must comprise only Laminar Research scenery library assets. Submissions are made (by artists from the community) to the Gateway directly from the Laminar Research airport-building tool “World Editor” (WED). The Gateway provides a method for airport scenery artists to submit new or updated airport sceneries for inclusion into future releases of X-Plane. The X-Plane Airport Scenery Gateway can be found at
