Runway lights VASI / PAPI Problem?

Featured Replies

Hi Guys, I have noticed when I come in to land the runway VASI / PAPI lights either stay full White or if I'm too low Full Red. They never show 2 red and 2 white so that I know i'm on the right glide slope.I have tested it out at all different Heights / Glide slopes and they are either one or the other.Am I doing something wrong or do I have some sort of glitch?cheersUly

Hello,FS2004 have many gltches th00000h012.gif but at least not this one AFAIK ..I have all the variations possible on approach .. from one red and all others white or any combination .. varying with the position of the aircraft / glide slope ....Regards.bye.gifGus.

I tried an airport not in Australia and I get a normal red and white glide slope...fs92010-08-0619-59-25-96.jpgAny airport in Australia gives me all red or all white depending how low or high I go...no in between?fs92010-08-0620-25-26-62.jpgfs92010-08-0620-26-15-43.jpgI am using VOZ 1.8 Australia Scenery....could this affect the runway lights?Uly

I would suggest you try the default version of the airport you have in your screenshot and see how it works.I don't know for sure, but I think that if you set the lights too close together this might be the result.regards,Joe

Hi Scott, You are spot on mate. Its the T-VASI system :-) No wonder I was so confused. I found some info on the T-VASI system and I just did a perfect landing ;-)Thanks for your help....would never had figured that one out. Oh BTW your Screenshot didn't show up?CheersUly

On some real world IFR IAP published charts there are a few that have a notation that the ILS GS angle is not the same as the visual approach indications.
