Frasca Field (FAA LID: C16) is a privately owned public use airport located at the northern edge of Urbana in Champaign County, Illinois, United States. It is owned by Frasca Air Service, which also serves as the fixed-base operator (FBO).
The airport is the site of Frasca International headquarters, a North American manufacturer of flight simulation training devices, with over 2.600 training devices delivered in approximately 70 countries throughout the world. Frasca International was founded in Champaign - Illinois, in 1958 by Rudy Frasca. The Frasca flight simulators are used in all segments of the aviation industry.
The FBO also houses Frasca Air Museum, which includes over 30 aircrafts and Rudy's collection of WWII aircraft. It is located on US Route 45 and accessible via I-74 exit 184 heading North, on the opposite side of the city from Willard Airport and is typically favored by private and corporate operators.

Although default airfields do already look great within the new sim, this amplifies and improves the default C16 Frasca Field greatly. This add-on provides each VFR simmer with a new field to call home.
The overall quality of this add-on is nothing short of breathtaking with textures being extremely crisp taking advantage of the latest PBR texturing techniques being offered by the new sim. Also, populating the field with static aircraft's such as Cessna 172's greatly amplifies the level of immersion that one can expect to find. Finally, it is the size of the airfield combined with its proximity to the city of Champaign all contribute to the character of this product and make this product a must buy addition for every serious VFR simmer.
I will certainly make sure to visit this field and city more often on my future adventures across the U.S.
