    KAJO - Corona Municipal Airport - Image 1

    Description

    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
    • (MSFS2024) Skid marks and cracks are now visible on runway. Caution starting with version 3.0 of KAJO, you need to activate two folders in your Community. "vbcorp-airport-kajo-corona" is the first one and don't change the name of the second "zzz-vbcorp-airport-kajo-corona".

    Oh you're right! I think I had it disabled (lately maybe my mistake) and thus I've added it. Actually, I didn't check if it was enable or not. It needs to be tested as I can't remembered how far is the coverage by MojaveHigh mod.

    Next version 3.1.2 (very soon to be uploaded) will include the removal of ugly blocks of trees (TIN) in the same area covered by MojaveHigh. Thus, you shouldn't need to have the two activated.

    The archive contains two folders: the mod itself and a "zzz-" version. What is the "zzz-" one for? :)

    Thanks@FrikFrak for making my support. The zzzz is the MSFS2024 part mostly for the runway texture and depending on the scenery, it could also include some exclusions and object specific to MSFS2024.

    With all these freeware and all these updates, it's becoming a hassle to manage the description and release notes. Wil update KAJO description according to other of my freeware with these 2 folders structure.

    Hi Vincent I installed the newest verion of KAJO and noticed that all the trees in the 'wasteland' right next to rwy 25 and also other trees are missing. I deactivated all scenery addons except KAJO (v3.1.0) and "Prado Reservoir and Corona Improvement" but the trees are still gone. This happens in both MSFS2020 and MSFS2024. All dependencies are downloaded and active.
    In your pics I see the trees are there. Mmmm

    Will have a look but, please consider 1. A screen shot could help investigation 2. Pictures that illustrate this mod page are from different versions of the sim (20/24) and even from different versions of the mod itself, all along its lifetime.

    What am I looking for ? https://i.vgy.me/3hvJwq.jpg

    Hi Vincent, I uploaded a few screenshots to the KAJO topic on Avsim. I'm meanwhile investigating my issue because there no trees either with or withour your KAJO. So it might not be a problem with your scenery at all.

    There's something somewhere modifying your vegetation. I can hardly believe it's my little airport scenery ;)

    Always had an odd love for little airports like this sitting under controlled airspace. Why? Maybe the flavor. This airport is so well done, and I'm stunned with the details. Parents grew up right near this area, so had to try it out. Also has some strange noise abatement procedures, but once you look it up the signs make a lot more sense. Great work!
