Flying your airports

Find your field on the sim's world map by its identifier, just like any stock airport. You can spawn on a runway directly, or - if you've placed parking spots - cold-start from a stand, which is the proper way to arrive at your own airport.

Publishing isn't just for you. Everyone who runs the companion app with your region selected gets your published airport installed in their sim - your field becomes a destination for the whole community. And because flights with the app are shared as live positions, you can watch visitors arrive in real time on the Claim Map's live traffic layer.

All flight income requires the companion app to be running while you fly. With it open you collect:

• Idle and active income for time in the app and in the air.
• Landing income at other people's published fields - Ⓐ25–150 per landing.
• Visit income when other players land at your airport - your field earns for you while you sleep.

Rates, multipliers, and the daily cap live in Earning Aeros.

The loop that pays best is also the one that's actually fun: pick a community field 50–150 nmaway, fly there, land, pick the next one. The landing distance bonus maxes out at 150 nm, so honest cross-country hops are the optimal strategy - no grinding pattern work required. Along the way you're seeing other players' airports from the best seat there is.

The companion app's Flight tab keeps the score: session time, last landing, and your landing count.

The public directory at /airports lists published fields with images, and the Claim Map search finds airports by name - heart the ones you want to come back to. Every published airport also has a shareable page of its own; see Public airport pages.
