August 23, 200718 yr Thanks for the shots you guys, they look awesome. PhilC is that airport Yakutat (PAYA)?
August 23, 200718 yr No. It is an airport that Bill and I built named Valley Flying Field in Washington state (WAVF).

August 24, 200718 yr Author KJFK's "leadin lights" for the 13L/R approaches: Watch the Video at: >They're talking about the landing lights on the aircraft>itself.>>"lead in lights--green" which come off the runway to the>taxiways, to the apron area; are low visibilty route lights>usually required as a part of the runway and airport>certification for low vis operations and, I think, also a part>of the runways approach category type requirement (CAT I, II,>III, etc.) for that particular runway.>>A runway with a VOR approach would most likely not require>lead in lights because the minimums are not low enough for>them to come into play even though they me be present and>working all the time. >>Keeping in mind also that the same runway may also have a CAT>III ILS approach as well which would explain why you see>them.>>Now why airports have them on when VFR conditions exist...hard>to say...maybe once they're installed they're just always on>or they are also a part of the new runway safety program.>>I think that's probably more information then you needed and>may not be entirely accurate, but close.>>Edit: To answer the other part of your question, you can>change the scenery to more accuratly reflect the real world>layout of the runway type, etc..

August 24, 200718 yr Author >Yes, I was talking about the curved lead in lights to VOR>13L/R near the Belt Pkwy in JFK. Can someone add them in?See these videos:KJFKCararsie "lead in lights" for the Runway 13 approach.Two videos to watch.Night approach, clear skies: Night approach, in fog/haze:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CahWvTbRc4I got Douglas MA Rooks canasie1.zip from AVSIM library.It was designes for FS2000 but it will also work in MSFS9.We need to get a scenery designer to do the "lead in" lights for KJFK for MSFSX.I don't know ... maybe it would be too hard to do for FSX? Best Regards, Vaughan Martell PP-ASEL KDTW
August 24, 200718 yr Sure. You will find a link to it in the Emma Field Flying Club forums here:http://forums.simflight.com/viewforum.php?f=19Some things to be aware of:1)It was designed with UTX installed. If you don't have UTX it will still work fine but the airport may sit on a plateau.2) I used a few older scenery objects from the RWY12 libraries. The needed files are listed in the readme. Again, they are not required but do add a few more objects. Most objects are FSX default ones.
