when I taxi during the night I can’t see where anything is because there are no tarmac or taxiway lights only the runways are lighted up. All of the aircraft need more functional landing lights.

The lighting system will be revamped once Project Metal is complete.

Feel free to vote on the existing #features requests that’ll help you taxi during the dark.
With the new update out, the minimum visibility just got even more minimum. And I love flying IFR while in solo or whenever there is minimums on the servers. And when ever I land and am at taxi speed its a bit hard to find the taxiways. My idea is that we add the neon blue taxiway lights like at the real airport so people don’t accidentally go through grass or another aircraft in live because I know for a fact that some people would.

Once again this is being requested because posts about it have been old and closed. Taxi lights would be a great option instead of using landing lights for taxiing, because we are supposed to turn them off when exiting the runway and just use taxi lights. But without them there is no light to taxi (see picture of taxi/landing lights below).

This would also help with realism, using checklists and for better light when taxiing (while not blinding the pilot ahead)

…Airport lighting is the answer
Whilst this might be considered to be a boring topic for some, it is a very important topic in all actuality. Airport lighting can save your life and those of others. Airport lighting can even help you make a nice, smooth touchdown. In this essay, I will briefly discuss different lighting systems such as VASI, RCLS, and others. Per usual fashion, I will include visual aids to provide a better understanding of what I’m trying to convey. Let’s begin…
The majo…
To possibly help familiarise yourself or help refresh your knowledge of airport lighting. I hope it’s helpful 😀
