Thanks guys, was worried because I saw a comment there about stutters at night that could be caused by this, but probably not.

I think many other things play into night stutters (weather you can't see but is rendered, TLOD being drawn far out that isn't viewable, lights, etc.). I have not sensed any stutters due to this mod.

Just a bump for anyone who hasn't come across this mod. It really enhances large airports. I'm impressed and would recommend.

Now that the nights have drawn in for those of us in the northern hemisphere, I can't recommend this mod enough.
Works on both freeware and payware add-on scenery and is a huge boost to the realism after dark.

(I've tried to show it off as best as I can, but it's much better in your own sim!)

Looks nice!

What other steps do I need to do, except put the files in the community folder?
I see something regarding priority and stuff?

The lights really are nice!
Bi-directional and emmissive, casting light on the ground around them and on to your aircraft landing gear.

The lights are their own self-contained package. Just drag and drop the unzipped parent folder 'unknown-misc-runway-lights' into your Community Folder.
W.r.t. priority, per the instructions:

Quote

In the [MSFS] package reorder tool, ensure that it has a priority value higher than the others (usually 1 should be sufficient)

Looks great, but in the blurb, it says it will work with 3rd party airports that use the default light system. My question is, how many third party devs use default lights system with their airports, and if so, which ones? which use default light system.
