Simairport Security Layout Verified [verified]
Passengers queue here first. A security officer verifies their ticket and ID.
Avoid expanding into massive 10-lane security checkpoints early on. Instead, research "Advanced Security" in the Bureaucracy tree to unlock faster equipment that takes up less physical space.
Do not force arriving passengers (who are leaving the secure gate area) to walk past the exit of your security screening zone. This causes pathfinding confusion. Keep your completely separate from the security entrance, ideally on a different side of the terminal block. Scaling for the End-Game
Once the text "Security Layout Verified" flashes on the screen, the simulation begins in earnest. The benefits are immediate: simairport security layout verified
Design the security area to be wide enough to accommodate many parallel lanes rather than long, winding queues. Crew Lanes:
Here is the blueprint for a layout that remains verified and handles heavy loads:
If any item fails, your layout is not yet verified—but now you know exactly what to fix. Passengers queue here first
Now go build. And don’t forget the trash cans.
The most reliable, community-tested design is the . This layout treats security as a repeatable block that you can copy and paste as your airport expands. Pre-Security Queue Zone
matches with 1 Advanced Bag Scanner and 2 Body Scanners . Keep your completely separate from the security entrance,
Ensure your maintenance rooms have enough toolbox lockers and workmen to keep scanners running. A single broken machine in a high-traffic lane can cause a total gridlock. Security Overlay: If passengers aren't using a zone, use the Security Overlay
. This involves placing security as a physical barrier that spans the entire width of the terminal's transition point from "landside" (public) to "airside" (secure). Physical Segregation
