Chicago Aurora Municipal Airport (ICAO: KARR) was opened in April 1966 and located in the village of Sugar Grove, Illinois, United States, which is approximately 8 miles west of the city of Aurora. The airport is designated as a reliever airport for Chicago's O'Hare and Midway airports, with a large apron that could park numerous aircraft. It has 3 runways: Runway 9/27: 6,501 x 100 ft (1,982 x 30 m), Runway 15/33: 5,503 x 100 ft (1,677 x 30 m), Runway 18/36: 3,198 x 75 ft (975 x 23 m). Runways 09 has a full ILS Instrument approach and 33 has a Localizer approach. The airport is home to many general aviation businesses including flying schools, maintenance and medical services. The largest business is JA Flight training, with 2 massive hangers and offices on the south side. The Main FBO is the JA Jet Center with its refurbished hangar, which is now a modern terminal with a large aircraft parking Canopy to keep arriving passengers dry and shaded from the weather,

The other FBO is REVV aviation with a smaller facility on the main apron, offering arriving pilots fuel, parking and taxi services. The eastern side of the airfield is home to the 'Sky haven' complex. Consisting of 36 steel buildings containing 194 heated and insulated hangar units. Towards the west is the Air Classics Museum of Aviation. A volunteer-run aviation museum with a variety of classic aircraft from the 1940s on wards.

Our scenery is made with HD photographic images that uses PBR materials. With high detail models researched and based on the real airport, including both large and small details to enhance your flight SIM experience. With the advantages of the MSFS engine, we can now bring you sloping runways and enhanced lighting effects not previously possible with other simulators. In addition to airport scenery, we also include general aviation static aircraft scenery to complement and enhance the airport, but will not affect or clash with AI traffic. The scenery is based on the airport as it was in 2021, and is optimized for the new MS flight sim.
