May 22, 201412 yr I bought a highly regarded scenery that does not have any lights on during IMC. I would guess because somehow it isn't possible. How can LM not have addressed this issue? Training in low visibility without runway lights? What? That is insane! I believe I can change it so that the lights are on all the time which I guess I will have to do...Funny how they spend all this time on something as useless as cloud shadows in a "not for entertainment" product, meanwhile people are landing CATII with no approach lighting <_< . Why doesn't LM have some sort of standard for approach lighting? It is extremely important when training to have the lighting correct so that it is visible at the right distance away. When you have all these developers having to design they own lighting effects some are bound to not be very accurate. So is this the case with most add-on airports? -Mike
May 22, 201412 yr Mike, is the scenery you purchased actually for P3D2?? If it is, you should have no issues....if it is not, then the Third Party scenery is simply not fully compatible. Like installing FS2000 scenery in FSX and expecting it to fully work without issues. Can you tell us what scenery it is specifically? Will Reynolds Flight Sim Addict
May 22, 201412 yr Are you sure the airport is open at night? Sometimes they develop scenery/airports to operate as they would in real life. Freeware developer Pompeii, Italy and Mount Vesuvius (pompeii_italy.zip) and A380 Flight plans (ai_a380_flightplans_redux.zip).

May 23, 201412 yr As far as I have seen it still works the way it did in FSX. Must be your scenery not compatible. Gerrit
May 23, 201412 yr I was asking about lights appearing in low visibility during the daytime. Would have been easier for the reader if you told us what addon airport you refer too. Also some addon airports require a freq to be set, for example in Com2. for runway lights to be turned on in daytime, IMC System: MSFS2024, ASUS Rog Stryx Z790-A, Intel i9-14900KF, Asus ROG Ryujin III 360 , Asus Hyperion Case,Rog Stryx 4090 OC, Samsung 970 EVO M.2 SSD, 1Tb Samsung 860 EVO SSD,64Gb G Skill Memory, Asus Aura 1200W Gold PSU,Win 11 ,LG C4 48" 4K OLED Screen., Airbus TCA Full Kit, Stream Deck XL. WinWing FCU, EFIS, MCDU
May 23, 201412 yr Author I should have added that there are no lights during IMC even in FSX. Badfinger: I am not asking for support for the particular airport. I just wanted to know if it is normal for add-on airports to not have lights on during IMC. Since P3D doesn't support BGL_Lights I was thinking maybe other developers are unable to have lights that turn on based on ceiling and visibility.
