Watch the Youtube release trailre to get a full presentation of the mod
The mod adds a custom-made replica of Postojna airfield (LJPO) in Slovenia. It is located 2,7km southwest of Postojna city and It is used by sport and tourist flights of aircraft which mass do not exceed MTOW 5700 kg. The small airfield is also a popular destination for gliding activities. It is home to the flight club Aeroklub Postojna.

Updated to v1.0.5
- World Update 14 compatibility
- complete scenery overhaul (aprons, polygons, grass, terraforming, roads...)
- custom flag added
- clean up of existing objects mesh
- new objects added for immersion
Updated to v1.0.4
- Added compatibility with SLOVENIA 20m DEM - High Resolution Terrain Elevation Data by Troglodytus, terraforming revisited
- Added grass to nearby fields as some were completely barren and some minor scenery tweaks
- Grass height is now correct thanks to Asobo global fix
Updated to v1.0.3
- Reworked ground textures and vegetation to match World Update 6 changes as Slovenia got a new bing ortho cover
- Added details to the nearby road and main hangar
Check screenshots 4,5 for reference.
Updated to v1.0.2
- Tested for sim update 5 *
- Objects changes
- Restaurant: building reworked, size-matched to real-world data, many details added
- Hangar: added nearby Pavillion, new sliding doors, building size and textures corrected, props rearranged to make space for spawn spot
- Service shack: building entirely rebuilt and reworked with higher quality textures
- Total revision of the vegetation all around the airfield based on recent aerial photos (thanks to dali for the photo source)
- Added terraforming, fixed the uneven grass, all the assets have been corrected to new terrain height.
- Nearby road textures improved: auto-generated traffic now flows on the road, reducing the "flying cars" effect due to road inclination
- Replaced static flags with animated ones, prone to wind direction and 4 states of wind strength (asset made by mamu)
- Added a taxiway on the grass, runway signs, and cones
- Various simobjects and scenery added
I've finally been at the airfield where I took quite a bit of data. The build was tested and reviewed for VR with good fps results (i7 8700, rtx3080, 32Gb, Reverb G2).
Updated to v1.0.1
- MaterialLibs renamed to avoid conflicts with other mods
- shimmering textures fixed
- corrected assets ground position
- various texture corrections
- added new details
This is my first project, I've started learning Blender and the SDK and had a lot of fun doing so. I'm planning to create more airports in the future. Any comment or support is welcome!
Thank you all!

Awesome airport...one question...is it possible to remove the wind turbines on petrol stations? There is one on top of Postojna..there is a small turbine there but the sim generates the large turbine..
2 years ago
Thanks! And no, sadly atm it is not possible to remove the wind turbines, there is also one at LJDI - Divaca that shouldn't be there. When Asobo provides a fix, be sure I will patch it

Two things 😉
First of all very nice airport like the rest of them, thanks for making this for us.
Second is kinda a request, could you by any chance also make Bovec airport since the current in-game area around there is pretty terrible.

Thnx, more to come if I will have time. Yes I was considering making LJBO but importing outside ortho textures on a mountain area is still very challenging or downright impossible atm. Textures gets smeared and distorted. Beside that, making a version with DEM 20m compatibility presents another set of challenges. I'm waiting for a more convenient terraforming tool than that we have now. Just trying to avoid too much frustration :)

Very nice! I am from America, but my wife's family is from Lokavec near Ajdovscina. I just flew from Gorica to Postojna, and loved it! Next time I am in Slovenia, I will have to stop here for a Lasko Pivo! Nice details. I hope some time the sailplanes can fly as AI traffic. I always love seeing them. I wish the Ajdovscina airport was in the simulation too!

Hey, nice to hear such stories I'm glad you are enjoying the scenery. About Ajdovscina, probably in the future if no one else will cover it.

you should include (tag?) it within Slovenia. I didn't even know it existed
2 years ago
this is new to me, previously (a few weeks ago) tags were irrelevant, now they are. I will be updating the post with the new patch coming soon as I've been at the airfield, a lot has changed since the reference photos were taken, 2013 cca :) Thanks for the tip!

Thank you for creating a fantastic scenery. But I found one problem. There is no problem with the others, but if you use it with the VHHX scenery https://flightsim.to/file/4713/hong-kong-kai-tak, it crashes while entering LJPO

I think I can see the problem. The creator did not rename the materialLib. Since the last Sim Update not only the unrenamed modelLib can cause issues, but also the materialLib. Dear neptuen: Could you please also rename the materialLib to something like "ljpo-materials", that could resolve any compatibility issues to other addons. Thank you!
