Power Cut at Leeds Bradford

Featured Replies

Anyone else had a problem with airport lights suddenly cutting out?I had almost completed an interesting flight from North Wales this evening in the Maul. From Canaerfon to Leeds-Bradford via the Shawbury, Trent and Poll Hill VORS.It was pretty dark now and Bradford and Leeds streets were lit. I had followed the ILS approach to runway 32 at LB airport. I was just crossing the runway lights when low-and-behold, the whole airport including the runway and termany shut down every single light.I completed my landing on guesswork and the slight help given by the landing lights. But it was still a bit off really. FSX has been great so far and runs amazing well on my aging machine. Am just a bit miffed that the game decided to blow a fuse and leave me along in the dark like that.Anyone else experience this problem on final?

Not on final but I have seen the airport beacon turn off. Then after flying a bit farther, it turns back on. I know I am high enough to keep something from blocking the it. I also had weather set to clear, so no clouds. I also can't understand why airport strobes are brighter and seen at a farther distance than the beacon.Regards,SD
