A world of community-built airports.
Project Airportslets anyone claim a real-world plot, design an airport in their browser, and have it show up in Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 - theirs and everyone else's - with none of the usual wrestling with the SDK, DevMode, or scenery installs. Build a backcountry strip in an afternoon or grow an international hub over months. Fly, earn Aeros, and keep building.
Hi, I'm Justice.
You might know me as McCrackenAir- I was one of the founding members of SayIntentions.AI, and I'd spent years in and out of flight sim communities before that. Away from the screen I run my own solar repair service, and I'm a student pilot slowly working toward my certificate with a soft spot for light sport aircraft and backcountry flying.
Building airports has been my favorite part of simming for as long as I can remember - recreating the places that mean something to me, and tucking little backcountry strips into the corners of the map. The building was never the problem. Sharing them was. Every time I wanted a friend to fly one of my fields it meant talking them through installing a scenery package - and then doing it all over again after the next sim update.
I sat on the idea for years: there had to be a simpler way to share what I build. Last year it turned into something bigger - what if my friends could build their own strips too, without any of the hard parts? That's what Project Airportsis. You design an airport in your browser, and it shows up in MSFS 2024 - yours and everyone else's - with no wrestling with installs.
The whole thing is still just me: a desktop with two laptops stacked on top of it making up the entire "build farm," running flat out through a lot of late nights. Supporting the project helps us get a proper server setup and pay real artists to build new 3D models for future updates. Thanks for being here - it means more than you know.
