August 4, 20232 yr In other words your orientation to the RWY in real life compared to MSFS, to make the PAPI lights look neutral. It seems when I land by PAPI in the sim, then I will land a bit farther than when not using them. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

August 4, 20232 yr Author It was that way for me in FSX too, by the way. 5800X3D, RTX4070, 600 Watt, one or two 1440p 32" screens, 64 GB RAM, 4 TB PCle 3 NVMe, Warthog throttle, VKB NXT EVO stick, Honeycomb Alpha yoke, CH quad, 3 Logitech panels, 2 StreamDecks, Desktop Aviator Trim Panel.

August 4, 20232 yr Another point, the visibility range of PAPI lights is too small imo. - Harry 9800x3D (Strix x870e-E) - 64GB RAM (DDR5 6000, CL 30) - RTX 5090, 34'' 1440p OLED HDR - Windows 11 Pro (1TB M.2) - MSFS 2024 (MS Store, 4TB M.2).
August 4, 20232 yr There are a few vids on that theme in Youtube, but I found this one by 737 NG pilot particularly informative: How an MSFS BUG makes your LANDINGS MUCH WORSE | Real 737 Pilot - YouTube Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
August 4, 20232 yr Runway? taxiway lighting is one area that in my opinion is far better in XP. They just look far more realistic than what's available in MSFS.

August 4, 20232 yr Oh, that explains a few things. Thought my pilot skills were slipping because when I try to use the MSFS PAPI, I just seem to overshoot consistently. My 'manual' landings are always much, much better.

Same with p3d. Runway lighting is a huge weakness for msfs. Plus every airport has the lights on all day which is poor. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
August 4, 20232 yr PAPI lights are not visible from a distance at all. You should be able to see them from much further away as in real life.

August 4, 20232 yr I also wish that the runway itself would be more crisp from a distance. The way the whole LOD thing works, it's poor quality when approach. 5800X3D, 4090FE, 64GB DDR4 3600C16, Gigabyte X570S MB, EVO 970 M.2's, Alienware 3821DW and 2 22" monitors, Corsair RM1000x PSU, 360MM MSI MEG, MFG Crosswind, T16000M Stick, Boeing TCA Yoke/Throttle, Skalarki MCDU and FCU, Logitech Radio Panel/Switch Panel, Spad.Next
