Opening the Scenery Editor #
3.1.2 #
Step 1
: Open the Infinite Flight App and select “Scenery Editor”
Step 2
: Choose the airport that you wish to edit and then select any runway or parking position. Tap “Ok” and then “Open” to begin
Step 3
: If you are editing a new airport (or working on an existing one which does not have a thread on the IFC yet), a topic will automatically be created in the Scenery Editor Category. Whenever new versions are uploaded, the changelogs will be added automatically to each thread so it’s easy to keep track. All communication about a particular airport must{.red} remain within it’s specific thread
Step 4
: When you first upload an airport, it will automatically assign you to that airport (this prevents others from uploading to the same airport)
