Walkthrough/tutorial creating separated security zones

Secure zone B and C you mean? Yes they must be there as @KingBirdy states PAX cannot leave without. Thanks for noticing, have added more pictures with that info.

The separated secure zone guide is live on Steam.

Thanks for the walk through! Makes it really easy!

Am I right in thinking that passengers will always use the correct security checkpoint?

Passengers will use the security station or stations that are connected to the stand they need to board their flight. If the security zone and stands are connected properly the answer is yes, but if security stations are also connected to different zones and thus stands PAX will end up in (a) wrong security zone(s) and will not be able to board their plane.

Was testing separate terminals last night and encountered a funny thing, remember the ‘alternative secure zone’ setup:

In the test yesterday I used them in operation and because there is only one ‘exit’ directly behind the security officer on the medium security stand the PAX cannot enter the secure path towards the plane… The consequence is that PAX leave the secure zone :face_with_raised_eyebrow: and go around the corner again to go through the security station again ending up in an endless loop till the plane leaves :smile:

PAX should not be able to leave the secure zone and go back in again through a security station, so filed a bug (ACEO-6133) for that. Must say that the pathfinding system solves this in a nice way, as the PAX have the urge to go to the plane and go around the corner again and again to make it, kudos! :sunglasses:

Hi all,

I have tried to do this on my exisiting terminal, even seperating the building and building a new test stand, security and exit point.

The security is still looking up to the old gates etc. if anybody can help?

You will need to do a save and reload for the separate zones to be registered. It’s a known bug.

As @Rubble says, but could be that a S&R doesn’t work then you have to delete the security station(s) and try again. Also keep in mind that if you removed a stand that the ‘old’ security zone still exists, also a known bug.

Lets add (again), that all objects that you delete, that have a secure zone associated with them, will keep the zoning; even Terminal Blocks.

Did you try to disable and then re-enable security stations?

This worked thank you

Tried this out today. But unfortunately, I still can’t get it to work.
This is how I tried building:

  1. Built all aircraft stands and corresponding terminal buildings.
  2. Secure Area on left concourse.
    A. Zoned the left concourse as secure.
    B. Placed checkpoints are secure exit.
    C. Placed boarding desks in secure area and assigned them to stands.
  3. Secure Area on right concourse.
    Repeated the above in the exact same order.


The two zones are completely separate, but still checkpoints on the left concourse connect to stands on the right concourse and vice-versa.

What am I doing wrong here??

What about your ground floor? Also non-jetway stand with 1st floor access?

There are no secure zones in the ground floor.

Don’t quite understand what you’re trying to ask me. :thinking:

Don’t quite understand what you’re trying to ask me. :thinking:

You are on first floor. There are boarding desks on first floor but stand doesn’t have jetway. So how boarding will happen?

I was going to build the jetways after this. :smile:

@Olof shouldn’t the security checkpoints be disconnected due to the lack of a jetbridge here?

Did you already do a save and reload?

You don’t have baggage handling, yet?

Yes. I did. Didn’t help :confused:

Not as of now. I just began building this airport.
