Free to download for PC: KAJO - Corona Municipal Airport for Microsoft Flight Simulator | MSFS
Corona Municipal is in Riverside county, California, approx. 40 miles east of Los Angeles. It’s an uncontrolled airport and is home to 300-350 general aviation aircraft. It’s strictly a recreational airport with no commercial flights.
Corona airport is well known because of its close proximity to aircraft shop “Aircraft Spruce”. It has also few businesses, such as a cafe “Corona Cafe”, “Flying Academy” flight training center, and aircraft maintenance and repair.
FEATURES
- Replace all AI generated buildings with more realistic stock/free MSFS objects
- Add custom ground painting and replace all aprons textured
- Add hundreds of small objects to make the airport a more living and immersive environment. Mostly with stocked objects which requires no 3rd party library. See requirements below.
- Add dozen of static aircraft because in the real world Corona has a lot of home permanent airplanes on ramp. Caution: It could impact your performance.
- Add several handcrafted objects all around the field (sign, ad, iconic objects, poles light)
- Special attention to the fuel island and fuel station/tanks with handcrafted objects
- Add several new startup positions including two helipads
- Add all fences around the airport (thanks to vectorplacement SDK features)
- Add a lot of signs and boards here and here on buildings
- Extensive work to clean the underlying Bing texture
- Clean all night blue poles (still wip). Add passive blue sticks when exist in real.
- Fix the two windsock positions
- Remove all non-existent taxiway signs
- VFR Reporting point : repaint of the Prado Dam Spillway (Freedom Mural has been restored mid 2023) on downwind runway 7 (VPLPD). Add Paradise (PDZ) VOR object

FOR THE RECORD (archive of the Work-in-Progress screen shots)
Here are some work-in-progress screenshots of my next project: Corona Municipal (KAJO). It’s always cool to start a new project, isn’t it?
The awful autogenerated building visible in the below picture will disappeared in few seconds and I will check if my draft Blender 3D Fuel Island fits in MSFS:
What is fun with this aiport is that there’re very cool materials available free online. The Corona Municipal airport is one among the few airport I know that are fully covered airside by Google Street View:
… but also great Bird Eyes View from Bing:
For the record, I was in touch with MojaveHigh regarding his now dead project of Corona available for years on flightsim.to.
Wish me all the best!
One more skill missing
