December 22, 20214 yr Author Just now, Joseph29 said: I am still downloading the hotfix so I don't know this, but are the airports with the lights being on all the time default airports? I don't use default airports at all so this error would not bother me too much and I will be able to wait for a fix. Every airport with dynamic lights is affected. SN737

December 22, 20214 yr I landed at an overcast airport. I must say it was actually nice to have the dynamic lights on at the concourse.

Currently in cruise so I cannot test for a few more hours. DAY_THRESHOLD=40000NIGHT_THRESHOLD=8000 Tied this..doesn't turn off the lights during daylight hours...

When the new Client comes out...you only need to uninstall and install that one component...I would not wait just for this fix...
