Missing Approach Light System for RKPK VOR-A in Infinite Flight

[CPT_MUNIR_YUSUF]

Hello everyone,

While flying the VOR-A approach into RKPK (Gimhae Intl, Busan), I noticed that the approach light system is missing in Infinite Flight, although it’s clearly mentioned on the Jeppesen chart.

The procedure uses the KMH VOR (113.8) and follows a 046° final approach course to RWY 18L/R. The chart indicates:

“Approach Lights – Refer to Airport Chart”

In real life, this approach is supported by visual aids such as approach lighting systems (possibly SALS, MALSR, or similar) to assist pilots during the final descent especially since this is a non-precision, offset approach without a glide path.

However, in Infinite Flight:
• There are no visible approach lights during the final segment (from D7.0 to D3.0).
• This makes the final approach and visual transition at MDA (1700 ft) especially difficult at night or in low visibility.
• The lack of lighting may confuse pilots or create unrealistic approach experiences.

Suggestion:
I would kindly suggest that the Infinite Flight team considers implementing the correct approach lighting system for RKPK RWY 18L/R, based on real-world data, or at least basic visual aids (such as PAPI, VASI, or lead-in lights), especially for non-precision approaches like this.It would greatly enhance realism and safety for those flying into Busan using realistic procedures.
Thanks for the amazing work you all do and thank you for considering this!

Hey, I’m neither an expert, IFC staff member nor a Infinite Flight dev, but I know that Infinite Flight is a mobile flight simulator and not a ultra high quality flight simulator like MSFS or X-Plane, because of that some things might be missing like the smoke from the gear’s rubber when you land, 3D building and approach lights, from my experience in Infinite Flight, except of these approach lights:

Which they can be found behind some airport’s runway (SFO/KSFO Runway 28L & 28R shown here) there are no other approach lights that “guide” you to the runway, which i think you mean by the 13-3 charts as sown into the approach of runway 18L and 18R.
I hope I helped!
