MSFS2024 Notice: At this time, I will not be installing or testing any of my uploads in MSFS 2024. It sounds like the sim is not stable and filled with glitches and bugs. Therefore compatibility with MSFS 2024 is not guaranteed. 

This is my first airport designed with the Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 SDK. This replaced the default KUGN - Waukegan National Airport that is found in the simulator. This modification provides a more realistic depiction of KUGN. For those unfamiliar, KUGN is located about 20 miles north of Chicago. It is home to a variety of business jets, general aviation aircraft, and has on occasion seen Air Force One (B757). It’s location to affluent northern Chicago suburbs makes it a convenient departure point for private air travelers or aircraft owners.

Changes from the default version of KUGN include:

• More accurate hangar sizes, types, orientation, and location
• Corrected RWY 5/23 coloration
  • Correct VASI, markings, and lighting
• Corrected RWY 14/32
  • Correct VASI, markings, and lighting
• Added taxiway signs and ground marking
  • Holdshort marking
  • RWY marking
  • Parking T
