In the dark at Sydney YSSY!

Featured Replies

Can anyone help me? I made my first visit to Sydney today using FS2004, and was given vectors by the Vatsim Controller on Radar for a Visual Approach runway 34L. However only the white "wing-bars" either side of the threshold were on, no runway/approach/taxi lights were working. My question is - I know the lights on FS are fine as I have been using it for a long time and consider myself to be an advanced user. I am using FS2004 default scenery for Sydney therefore why would I not be able to see any airfield lighting? Makes landing in the dark very challenging indeed!!!!Best regards,Chris

Use Lee Swordy's program called AFACAD - available at most DL sites and check the lighting that has been enabled by MS for YSSY. With the program you can easily add or change many lighting parameters at any airport.David

Thanks David, I've used it before but haven't got it on at the moment. I'll get it downloaded and give it a try.CheersChris

Looks fine on my system with default scenery. Maybe check your scenery sliders?Bud
