Approach Lights

Featured Replies

Hi originally posted in the scenery forum without success so I thought I might try here! Big%20Grin.gif(I also noted at KIAD 1L had theses lights whereas 1R did not?)Hi everyoneHoping one of you pro's might be able to give me some help/guidance if possible?I have noticed that most(?) FSX airports have static approach lights however, when lined up at EDDV I was greeted with the attached! When flying I notice the strobe effect either side of the threshold at airports but it looks like some airports have a strobe effect 'down' the middle of the threshold? Would these be called runway guidance lights and can this be edited for other airports and if so what would I need to have in order to do that?(You will see from this link what I am referring to: http://

)Many thanks and best regards

I'm not an expert or pro on this but no one else has responded yet and I think it all depends on the runway configurations, whether CAT I or CAT II. I think this link provides the best explanation: http://www.flightlight.com/airportlighting/4.6/4.6.html. It's very complicated and varies with each airport. You might find more info by Googling Approach Lighting Systems.Best regards,Jim
