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.

I've found a small issue, around the transient parking there are a few parking spots where the white lines are floating.
Looking forward to see what's coming next, KREI, KRAL, KCNO, KFUL and KTOA are some of the places I flew IRL that definitely need some love 😊

I do however have a question when doing some pattern work at Corona I get a huge stutter (stops sim for 3 to 4 seconds) when turning back toward the airport for the downwind leg. Am I missing something...
