deltatango Posted January 21 Share Posted January 21 The approach lighting at Aleppo RWY 27 goes all the way up to the piano keys. And if you clip it you die instantly. I know ED 'owns' the damage models (in this case for the F-16), but any fittings on airfields are supposed to be frangible. And approach lights should finish before the sealed surface of the runway starts anyway. Pics attached. You can see the crater in the runway I made with my last aircraft. PS I love the Syria map!

western_JPN Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 I'm looking into after patching 2.9.3 .51704 . Damascus RW 05 L and 23 R (both ends of the same runway) 1 Modules: A-10C/II, F-5E, F-14A/B, F-15E, F-16C, F/A-18C, AV-8B, FC3, Ka-50-2/3, UH-1H, Mi-8MTV2, SA342, Mi-24P, AH-64D, P-51D Maps: Nevada, PG, Syria, SA, Sinai, Channel, Normandy2.0 Assets etc.: CA, Sc, WW2AP Mods and Skins in User Files: files/filter/user-is-western0221/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
norman99 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 If you’re clipping those approach lights, you’re coming in WAY too low. The aim point during the approach and landing should be the markings at approximately 1000ft from the threshold. In the above image, there are the rectangular markings, 3rd from the threshold.

Also, there are plenty of places around the world where raised approach lights continue onto the sealed surface, right up to the threshold, as you can see below. (Not the greatest image to illustrate my point, but it’s the first I found with a quick search.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes places do exist with light installations raised on paved surfaces, but they are extremely rare and different to what Ugra shows on their airports. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaisedByWolves Posted March 2 Share Posted March 2 At the very least, there should be a displaced threshold with those lights as modeled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
