IvanK Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 Currently Airfield lighting is Time of day dependant only. In Low Visibility conditions in daylight you don't get any runway/approach lighting as would be the case real world. This is a Sim weakness at present. So I suggest that Airfield lighting be Time of day dependent and visibility dependant. I would suggest if Visibility is ,1200m then Airfield lighting is on regardless of time of day. Another neat option would be to allow the user to call for airfield lighting by way of the ATC menu associated with the airfield he is inbound to.Though I guess this would need to tie in with if the airfield is on your side/allegiance.
tarracta Posted September 15, 2013 Posted September 15, 2013 It would be great if the airfield lightning would be reworked in general. They are all much to dark and abandoned, compared to a real airport all the DCS-Airports look like a provincial airstrip for gliders and model aircrafts... I wish there would be flashing lights, animated flourescent stripes beside the runway and big flood lights which make the night to day. And every single existing lightspot 3 times brighter. So there would be much better chances to find it even with bad weather conditions instead of landing in complete gloominess
