This paper will describe a new Monte Carlo program based on CORSIKA which generates fluorescence photons for each charged particle in a shower following the assumption of proportionality to the ionization energy deposit. These photons are tracked down to telescopes allowing us to study the reconstruction of the longitudinal profile and energy of the shower in a realistic way. An example of the agreement between the longitudinal profile of particles in the shower generated by CORSIKA and the longitudinal profile reconstructed using the fluorescence photons is shown. The importance of a detailed method to produce fluorescence photons in a one by one approach is also presented.
