Oberpfaffenhofen Airport is located 20km south west of downtown Munich.
Built in 1936 by aircraft manufacturer Dornier for test flight operations before and during World War II, the airport was captured by the US Army in early 1945.
After more than 10 years under US occupation, it was returned to the Federal Republic of Germany in the 50s and from then on was used by the Luftwaffe and Dornier.
Many of Dornier's post war aircrafts where built in the Oberpfaffenhofen plant including the currently still operational Dornier 228 and 328.
After the 9/11 terror attacks the company became in financial troubles and filed for bancrupcy in 2002, leaving the latest project, the twin-engine regional jet
Dornier 728 abandoned with only 3 prototypes built. Dornier's Oberpfaffenhofen plant went to Swiss manufacturer RUAG whilst the airport operations went to newly founded
"EDMO Flugbetrieb GmbH".
Besides military and Dornier use, the Airport is also home to a branch of Germany's air and space agency DLR. The DLR operates two hangars in the western part of the airfield for storing and maintaining a part of their research fleet including a Gulfstream G550 and a Cessna Caravan.
The airfield is classified as "Sonderflughafen - Special Airfield" and thus is not open to the public without restrictions. Nevertheless, the airport is today an important base for business and company aviation serving Munich and Southern-Bavaria.
Between 2020 and 2022, it faced some major enhancements in the airport's western part which includes 3 newly built aircraft hangars and an office building with integrated FBO / General Aviation Terminal.
When I've starteed the project, my first intention was to only fix some minor issues with lights and exchange some standard buildings. But, being unhappy
with the standard building choice and noticing the major changes in the real-world aiport layout in 2022, I began creating custom buildings and the goal shifted to a complete overhaul of the Airport.
Features:
- Custom-built hangars and buildings that are directly located at an apron or are important for airport operations
- Custom-built taxi and flood lights as well as some smaller stuff e.g. antennas.
- Update of the airport ground image (from Google) to reflect the current layout of the airport after the 2022 enhancement.
Some smaller buildings (e.g. garages, sheds) as well as ambient objects like cars, static aircrafts etc. are either manually placed Asobo standard objects or
automatically placed by the simulators AI.
As this is my very first sceney project, there are still some improvements needed, especially in texturing. I'm still unhappy with the PBR reflection values
on some buildings which I may adress in a later update.
Also, as the new built aprons where only opened and published in the official airport chart in November 2022, I've no precise information about possible markings and
parking positions in those areas. I've included the aprons as published in the latest AIRAC.

Hello. Your EDMO airport is blocking all runway numbers and runway marks of this EDDF Frankfurt airport...! https://de.flightsim.to/file/29066/eddf-frankfurt-main-international-beta-experimental
When i put your EDMO out of my community folder, i get all numbers back on the EDDF. Can you check this out? 😉 Thanks!

Hi, I also have the EDDF Scenery installed an I'm not able to reproduce the error. I can see all runway markings and numbers.
Do you maybe have the ASOBO Frankfurt scenery included in the Deluxe version, still activated?
