Most of the airfields in French Polynesia is missing in the game, just have a look around the area using Bing Map and you will know why. I tried to find out all those missing airfields which no other modders have made. Most of them share similar apron designs. Finally I've made 20 airfields listed below:
- Anuanuraro (abandoned, fake ident NTAU)
- Anaa (NTGA, IFR possible with NDB approach)
- Fangatau (NTGB, RNAV approach implemented)
- Reao (NTGE, IFR possible with NDB approach)
- Nengo Nengo (NTGG, undocumented)
- Hikueru (NTGH, VFR only)
- Totegegie (NTGJ, RNAV approach implemented for stock airport)
- Napuka (NTGN, IFR possible with NDB approach)
- Pukapuka (NTGP, VFR only, don't get confused with the one in Cook Islands)
- Pukarua (NTGQ, VFR only)
- Takapoto (NTGT, RNAV approach implemented)
- Arutua (NTGU, VFR only)
- Mataiva (NTGV, RNAV approach implemented)
- Tureia (NTGY, RNAV approach implemented)
- Faaite (NTKF, VFR only)
- Fakahina (NTKH, VFR only)
- Aratika Nord (NTKK, VFR only)
- Takume (NTKM, VFR only)
- Raroia (NTKO, RNAV approach implemented)
- Takaroa (NTKR, RNAV approach implemented)
- Hao (NTTO, RNAV approach implemented)
This is the only one with runway lights, and it is capable for jetliners to operate, but it is for military transport so there is no corresponding ground handling facilities like boarding ramp or baggage trucks.
Most of the airport have a small handcrafted terminal placed in front of the apron. Each of them looks just slightly defferent from each other so I've just made a common one for all of them.
You can find the charts for most of these airfields at the "eAIP PAC-P" section of AIS France: https://www.sia.aviation-civile.gouv.fr/ , enjoy island hopping
Please REMOVE the current installation before each updates, as there may be BREAKING CHANGES to file structure
Now the navdata and the scenery have been separated. Just delete the files "navdata-xxxx.bgl" if you have subscribed 3rd party global navdata from vendors like Navigraph. Also check here if you experience the very common "double runway" issue:

It's great that you got all these airfields in the sim. I have one criticism - unlike most hand-crafted airfields, there is no icon for these airfields showing up on the zoomed-out globe view, so there's no way to tell whether these are handcrafted or not, unless you know the names of all the handcrafted airfields. Can you please add an icon to each airport so they show up when we're zoomed out on the globe view?

Thanks for this but can you add more objects to the airports? There are many good libraries you can use for that and would make it look much better.
