Setup
Installation
- Unpack the .zip file you downloaded. Make sure to select “extract here” instead of
extracting to a separate folder
- Copy the “KPDX - Portland International” folder into “X-Plane 11/Custom Scenery”.
- It is required that you also install MisterX Library version 1.5 (or higher)
- Optionally, you can install the AutoGate plugin if you want to use the docking
guidance system, marshallers, and moving jetways. These objects will remain static
without the plugin installed.
Inside your “Custom Scenery” folder, you will find a file called “scenery_packs.ini”, which
defines the order in which your sceneries are loaded. You can open this file with any text
editor. If you ran X-Plane at least once after installing Portland International, you will find
an entry for it in this file. This entry MUST always be above any meshes, photoscenery, or
other airports in the same area (most importantly, the default “Global Airports”). See the
example below for a correctly ordered “scenery_packs.ini” file.
Requirements
X-Plane 11 is required for this scenery package to run properly. No support will be offered
for older versions of X-Plane.
AutoGate can be installed to use the included docking guidance system and moving
jetways.

Static Aircraft
Important: You have to enable the “Draw parked aircraft at airports” checkbox in
your X-Plane display options to see any static aircraft!
X-Plane 10.50 introduced a new way of managing static aircraft. Instead of actually placing
objects, the scenery author can set up gates with an airline code, an aircraft type, and a
size category. X-Plane will then randomly place static aircraft objects that fit those
parameters.
