Perfect For

• Aviation roleplay servers with airline pilot, flight attendant, and ground crew jobs
• Transportation-focused servers needing civilian air travel infrastructure
• Border control roleplay with customs and immigration checkpoint mechanics
• Business roleplay where executives travel frequently for meetings
• Tourism servers where players fly between cities or destinations
• Smuggling operations using commercial aviation as cover for contraband transport

Roleplay Applications

Homestate Airport enables diverse aviation roleplay scenarios. Run commercial airline operations with pilots flying scheduled routes, flight attendants managing passenger service, and ground crews handling baggage and aircraft servicing. Create airport security jobs where TSA agents screen passengers and investigate suspicious behavior. Implement customs and border protection roles checking passports and searching for smuggled goods. Establish retail businesses in terminal shops and restaurants. Use the airport for criminal activities like luggage theft, smuggling contraband through security, or infiltrating restricted areas. The control tower serves as central command for coordinating air traffic between multiple aircraft operations.

Airline Job Integration

The airport layout is perfect for airline job scripts. Check-in agents process tickets at the counters using the terminal computers. Security officers staff the checkpoint, screening passengers and luggage. Gate agents board passengers through the jet bridges. Baggage handlers work behind the scenes loading and unloading aircraft. Airport operations managers coordinate between departments using the administrative offices. Pilots report to airline crew rooms before flights, while mechanics perform aircraft inspections at the gates. The complete infrastructure supports full-cycle airline operations from passenger check-in to departure.

Location & Accessibility

Homestate Airport is strategically positioned with excellent road access for ground transportation and ample apron space for aircraft parking. The terminal connects seamlessly to the existing FiveM map while maintaining realistic airport design principles. Multiple vehicle parking areas accommodate player cars, taxis, and service vehicles. The layout supports smooth player flow from parking lot through check-in, security, and gates without confusing navigation or bottlenecks during busy periods.

• Interior Size - Large-scale terminal building with multiple floors and extensive walkable areas
• Prop Count - 300+ custom props including airport-specific furniture and equipment
• Collision Mapping - Full collision support for accurate player movement and vehicle physics
• Lighting System - Custom lighting setup with realistic terminal ambiance
• Compatibility - Works with aircraft scripts, job systems, and shop frameworks

Customization Options

Server administrators can customize the airport to match their server theme. Replace generic signage with custom airline logos and branding. Modify shop inventories to sell server-specific items or souvenirs. Configure security checkpoint strictness (role play-only scanning vs. actual contraband detection). Set up VIP lounge access for premium members or high-status characters. Create dynamic flight schedules using announcement systems. The modular design allows repurposing areas - convert unused gates into cargo terminals, transform retail spaces into service counters, or add customs inspection rooms for border control roleplay.

What Makes It Stand Out

Homestate Airport excels in scale and functional design. Unlike smaller airport MLOs that only include basic gate areas, this is a complete airport facility with all the departments and amenities of a real civilian airport. The flow makes sense - passengers naturally progress from check-in through security to gates without getting lost. The attention to detail is impressive, with realistic airport signage, appropriate equipment at each station, and authentic terminal atmosphere. The control tower is particularly well-done, providing actual functionality for air traffic control roleplay rather than just being decorative. Most importantly, the optimization is excellent - despite the large interior size, performance remains smooth even with many players in the terminal.

Integration with Aviation Scripts

Homestate Airport pairs perfectly with FiveM aviation scripts. Use with airline pilot jobs that fly scheduled routes between airports. Integrate with aircraft rental systems where players rent planes from the terminal. Combine with cargo hauling scripts for freight operations. Connect to flight school scripts where student pilots train at the airport. Link with aircraft dealer scripts that sell planes from the airport facilities. The airport provides the realistic infrastructure that aviation scripts need to feel authentic and immersive.

Recommended Add-Ons

Enhance the airport experience with aviation-related scripts: airline job systems for comprehensive flight operations, aircraft interiors for cabin roleplay, customs inspection mechanics for border security, luggage systems for baggage handling jobs, and rental car scripts for ground transportation from the airport. Consider adding flight tracker displays showing arrivals and departures, public address announcement systems for boarding calls, and aircraft ground support vehicles (fuel trucks, baggage carts, pushback tugs) to complete the realistic airport environment.
