That’s exactly what I’m talking about

#12

To be honesty I think the old feature should be replaced by this one ,I can say yes the are similar but this one would make landing more interesting and fun …

#13

Cool idea I like it,though I think the topic has been created (base on lighting and all of this in the past)

#14

I honestly want this a lot myself.

All of the topics mentioned above have been closed. And I think this one is much better formatted 😉

New User can make a new request if the existing has been closed

Don’t pilots have a Frequency to Key the Lights because of Economic Reasons they can’t be on all the Time? The Approach lights, Edge Lights and taxi lights can be turned on from this frequency. I think.

If I remember correctly that’s generally only at GA or quite un-busy airports

Yeah that Makes sense.

You have my vote. Many edited airports already include the data for ALS for each runway.

They were all closed recently. It appears OP got mod permission. Flag if in doubt.

This would be a great feature for when it’s dark or low visibility.

This would also be great given the addition of low-level fog in the coming update.

Uh, a good idea since we cannot even see where we’re going currently with the current fog.

This might hit some flak from realists because of all the different kinds of ALSs, but if the airports all (or mostly) have data already, this should be doable. It has my vote!

Yeah those lights would be nice. It would certainly be a good addition to the sim, along with many needed light reworks!
