How Go2Gate ownership works

Why some airports sit outside Go2Gate — and the controls for hiding or removing them.

Go2Gate is built around the scenery, aircraft and liveries you own — payware, freeware, Microsoft Partner and Asobo’s handcrafted airports — matched against the real-world airline network across the globe. That way you fly genuine scheduled routes with the real aircraft, in the real livery, between real airports. That’s the whole point: full immersion. When a flight shows ready to fly, it means you own everything it needs — the aircraft, its livery, and both the departure and arrival airport.

The ready-to-fly flight list in Go2Gate
Own the origin and destination and Go2Gate shows it as ready to fly.

If an airport isn’t shown as owned, we won’t offer it as ready to fly — because at one end you’d be departing from, or arriving at, default scenery, and that breaks the immersion. You can still fly there whenever you like; this just keeps that “ready to fly” badge meaning what it says.

Just hiding an airport. The Filter panel lets you tidy airports out of your library list — hide ones with no commercial flights, hide not-linked scenery, and so on. Those are purely cosmetic: the airports stay owned and their ready-to-fly flights keep showing.

The Hide Asobo handcrafted toggle.

One toggle in that panel is different: Hide Asobo handcrafted (removes from Go2Gate). Asobo’s handcrafted airports ship with the sim, and some were among the first ever built — a few are showing their age next to modern payware. Flip this and all of them switch off together and stop counting as owned, so you won’t be offered ready-to-fly flights that depend on them. Plenty of people are happy to leave it alone and fly them — your call, and you can switch it back any time.

Removing a single airport. Any airport has a remove button on its own page — use it to take just that one out of Go2Gate so it no longer counts as owned:
