Default FS9 XML allows us to have the following lighting systems installed on an airport:
- Approach Lighting (various different intensities and configurations)
- Approach light strobes
- VASI, T-VASIS, PAPI etc
- REILs (dual flashing strobes at runway threshold)
- Runway Centreline lights (L,M,H intensity)
- Red centreline lights (in touchdown zone limit at opposite end of runway)
- Runway Edge Lights (L,M,H intensity, including green/red wing bars at runway threshold)
- Green Light end row (row of green lights at runway threshold)
- Precision runway lights (yellow runway edge lights most the way down the touchdown zone)
- Touchdown Zone Lights (flush-mounted in runway pavement)
- Taxiway edge lights (blue)
- Taxiway Centreline lights (green)
- Apron edge lighting (blue)
In New Zealand, the following additional lights can also be found:
- RLLS (runway lead-in lighting system)
- CGL (circling guidance lighting)
- Touchdown Zone Wing Bars
- Taxiway hold point lighting
I think if we're modelling New Zealand, the lighting should mimic the airports as best they can. How do people think we should tackle these extra lights? Perhaps someone knows of some good objects already out there that we can use. If not, does someone have the expertise to make lights that only shine at night or under daytime IFR conditions?
