Expert Overview

Avignon Pujaut Airport (LFNT) Scenery transforms a modest Southern France airfield into a richly detailed environment within MSFS 2020. From the trio of authentic grass runways (17R/35L, 17L/35R, and 12/30) to realistic PBR textures and animated touches, this add-on perfectly captures the aerodrome’s historic essence. Daylight-only operations pay homage to its real-world constraints, preserving the traditional feel of visual flight rules across Provence’s skies.

Having put this mod to the test, I found it immersive in both visuals and performance. The attention to detail—complete with historical references to early French parachuting—truly enhances each takeoff and landing. Whether exploring the surroundings or appreciating the creative elements such as animated aircraft models and local wildlife, virtual pilots can enjoy a uniquely atmospheric departure from the standard MSFS offerings in this storied region of France.

  • Highly Detailed Runways: The scenery includes all three grass runways (17R/35L, 17L/35R, and 12/30), each authentically recreated to reflect their real-world specifications and limitations.
  • Realistic Airport Environment: From animated characters and wildlife to detailed paneling and PBR (Physically Based Rendering) textures, every element enhances the realism of the aerodrome.
  • Nocturnal Constraints: Accurately modeled to represent its real-life counterpart, the airfield lacks lighting, necessitating daylight operations for VFR (Visual Flight Rules) flights.
  • Animated Elements: Discover animated air conditioners, missing textures on the flowerpot in a nod to version history, and lively static PC6 aircraft sourced from MilViz, adding depth and interactivity to your simulation.

About LFNT - Avignon Pujaut Aerodrome

LFNT, nestled in the commune of Pujaut just 6 km northwest of Avignon, is a restricted-use aerodrome primarily engaged in light aviation and leisure activities such as parachuting and model aircraft flying. Established in 1919 and serving as an emergency airfield by 1929, LFNT was later entrusted to the French Air Force in 1935 and became the cradle of French military parachuting. This historical backdrop provides a unique atmosphere that enriches the simulation experience.

Technical Specifications and User Information

  • Communication and Navigation: Operates on a self-information frequency of 123.350 MHz within FSS areas. Compliance with the Provence Approach is mandatory within certain airspace layers.
  • Daylight Operations Only: Reflecting its real-world limitations, the airfield operates from sunrise to sunset.
  • Activity Zones: A designated area for glider winching extends from the ground to 2,300 feet. This feature is complemented by model aircraft operations to the west of the platform, providing diverse flying activities.
