Build and fly for free. Support if you can.

I still handle the airport builds myself. If you want to help me add capacity and keep the project running, you can chip in once. Building and flying stay free. Contributions of $25 or more unlock the perks below.

About the Livery Workshop

The Workshop is free after you verify your sim with one flight. Publishing a livery costs Aeros, and published liveries join the community network and showcase. Supporter adds community livery sync, five extra hangar bays, and unlimited publishes.

Plus more as the project grows

Where your support goes

Your contribution keeps builds moving.

More build capacity means less time waiting for your airport to reach the sim. Here's what we're working on next.

  1. Goal 01

    Livery Workshop

    Shipped and open to every verified pilot: the studio stages your jet in your own hangar at your own airport, with brush work, part fills, an airline sticker library, and decals painted straight onto the 3D aircraft. Publishing pays a Paint Bill in Aeros and puts your paint on the community network; supporters fly the whole network in their own sim and add five extra hangar bays and unlimited publishes.

  2. Goal 02

    Increased build capacity

    Quicker queue times as the render farm grows beyond one desk.

  3. Goal 03

    Hangars with movable doors

    Open the doors and roll your aircraft in and out.

  4. Goal 04

    More usable objects

    A growing catalog from in-sim assets and paid 3D artists.

  5. Goal 05

    Community events

    Special objects for events and holidays.

  6. Goal 06

    Larger airport types

    Bigger fields and new airport classes to claim and build.

  7. Goal 07

    Interactive elements

    Moving, interactive props that bring your field to life.

Who's behind this
Justice McCracken at the airfield with a light sport aircraft

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 - inspection, repair and recovery of abandoned solar installations - 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. Some of my friends are busy chasing their CFI, some are dads without a spare hour, and my best friend - I say this with nothing but love - is a complete idiot who couldn't install a scenery package if his life depended on it. Most people just don't want to dig through files and folders to land on a runway.

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 Airports is. You design an airport in your browser, and it shows up in MSFS 2024 - yours and everyone else's - with no wrestling with installs.

I still run Project Airports myself. Chipping in helps me add build capacity and keep improving the tools. Thanks for being here - it means more than you know.

- Justice
