JFK 13L Lead in lights missing MSFS until now?

[paulyg123 135]

The best NYC approach to fly is  the  Parkway visual 13L.  You really need to follow the lead in lights on this one but MSFS and any addon scenery has them missing.  Even the Enhanced Hight scenery.   I discovered this site who claims to have them added. Has anyone used this?  It seems to be FREE.

Think this might get better traction in the MSFS 2020 forum?

I have this mod installed courtesy by TMongun , It works as expected, it’s a nice solution to LDIN lights missing issue.

Polo:

Thanks for your reply;  A few questions for you if you don't mind:

1.  works as expected?  does that mean good?  excellent?  any description.

2.  If I download the file. do I just extract anywhere in my community folder.  I never messed with that folder.

If it had to be qualified, it would be good.

It is similar to what you can see when you perform this approach in real life.

Just unzip and drop into Community folder, if you don't like the result, just deleted. No harm or messed to your sim.

A little help needed.  I downloaded the file. I created a new folder in my community folder JFK LIGHTS and I extracted the download file in that folder.  But the lights don't show up.  I think I am missing a step??  Please help.  I am not too computer savvy.

You took one step too many... extract the zip file directly into your Community folder.

In your Community folder you should then have a new folder containing scenery, manifest and layout.

OK Bert:  Thanks so much for your guidance.  I got it working. My mistake was creating a new folder in my community folder.  

The added lights do indeed make a big difference.  I just flew the approach in real weather (rain and fog) and the lights were a huge help.

 

Thanks again for your assistance
