NVSS - Santo-Pekoa International Airport, Vanuatu
From Wikipedia:
Santo-Pekoa International Airport is an airport in Luganville on Espiritu Santo in Vunuatu. Airports Vanuatu Limited provides aviation services for the airport.
I mainly created this as it is a missing tour leg on a FlyUK tour and I thought I might as well give it a bash instead of waiting for someone to upload it. I've become quite invested though so plan to try and get this as accurate as possible.
New features in version 0.7:
- Very nice texture and modelling updates of the terminal building by Derek Reid. At this point the exterior is pretty much complete and work has began on the visible interior areas. Most of this is focused on the front entrance and cafe in this version.
- As the SDK was updated I've now been able to sort out the messy taxiways. These are placeholders for now but allow you to park at the two available gates. As far as I can tell this is accurate to reality.
- Night lighting has been added to the runway and taxiway.
- Carpark and entrance layout is mostly accurate to real life now.
- I've started on the fences but I've not got very far. I'll do a bit more every update and it should be finished by the end of the year.
- General clutter and detailing is ongoing.
- Will work with Navigraph but causes a 2 minute freeze upon loading, or when approaching the airport at about 30 miles distance. I am going to contact Navigraph directly about this and see if they can work out what is going on. Works fine other than the freeze so RNAV and NDB approaches will work, you just have to wait for the game to unstick. Please contact me if you also experience this issue. Or if you don't. Would be good to know. This does not effect the vanilla game!
Upcoming features and known issues:
- Custom building wise, the next step is to finish the interior of the main terminal, the apron side of the building and the sculpture area out the front. We will then take a look at the fire station and control tower.
- Based on reference photos they appear to be painting the entire airport and repairing it after recent storm damage. Will try to update to match any changes based on available images. We live 15,000km away so have to work with what we can find online and a lot of it is quite old. Feel free to donate two return flights to Glasgow to Vanuatu if you're feeling generous and want the most up to date accuracy possible.
- Runway threshholds may need tweaked by a few meters.
- As mentioned above Navigraph causes a freeze. Hoping for a fix by the next update.
- I'd still like to add the VOR and NBD as they are missing from the vanilla game.
- Accurate ground markings and pathways. The taxiways are no longer a horrible mess but I'd like to try and make them much more accurate. Right now they are functional and not much else. Will also be adding marked pathways and other markings to the aprons.
- Working ATC to be added.
- Finish the fence! Also general scenery updates will be ongoing.
- There is a bit of night lighting but once everything else is finalised I'll put some more work into that.
To install just drag and drop into the community folder as standard.
Any advice or feedback would be appreciated, thanks!

Hello! I did not get a notification for your comment and have only just noticed it now. No promises but I've got a bit of free time coming up and will maybe take a look at it over the next couple of weeks. I don't think it currently works properly with whatever sim version we're on so I'd at least like to get it up to date. Doubt there will be any changes to any models or anything though, mainly getting it working with the current game version.
