Night lighting not so spectacular?

Good, you seem to agree it could use improvement. If no one voices an opinion then nothing changes.

OMG!! Did you see those unrealistic lights on the Air France 340 approach!

I mean, look at how much brighter those lights farther away were compared to the brightness up close. Totally unrealistic. Sure hope MS2020 can get this one right!🙄 Really guys..lit’s a freakin alpha!!!!

This message brought to you by a person who flys for a living, mostly at night.

B737 for last 27 years and counting. A lot of nighttime approaches. 

Oh yeah, believe it or not, you see a lot of shimmering in cities, as alot of trees will periodically block city\ streetlights.

Quite honestly too me, the MS2020 night lighting looks pretty accurate from a visual standpoint. Orbs not withstanding. Also, as to the dark airports... it’s a freakin alpha!!🙄 As too brighter runways, I see this all the time. Particularly when approaching on a sun low hazy day. LAX does this quite often till the sunsets, then they’ll tone down the lights again to typically medium intensity.

I have seen many a sunset as depicted in the initial trailer with the DA twin landing, and sunset reflecting off lower clouds....quite realistic to my visual, and real world experience. Nature can give quite spectacular vistas at times.

One last point......It’s a freakin alpha!!!!👍 

Back to your regularly schedule station.

Best,

The video could be seen more or less realistic. But KLAX has some other kind of lights, like the tower building which is illuminated in different colors, the tall rectangles, and overall, something that probably will be changed, the tarmac illumination that is missing right now. 

Illumination it is not only the streetlights (I didn't see anything wrong with them). 

Sorry, aleex...I couldn’t find the sarcasm emoji.

I’ll try and do better in the future.

Best,

David
