CRJ_simpilot Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 Is there an add-on of some sort that brightens the PAPI lights? The lights as they are now are way too dim and hard to see from a distance. Edit- After some Google searching I think I found a solution. It's in FSX.cfg RUNWAY_LIGHTS_VASI_SCALAR= OOM errors?

CRJ_simpilot Posted July 18, 2017 Author Share Posted July 18, 2017 Yeah, I just looked and those settings don't exist. Can I add them and will FSX use those settings? OOM errors? Read this.

Allen Craig Posted July 18, 2017 Share Posted July 18, 2017 FSX lights are generally bulbous and ugly You can change the size of these lights if you want to...

CRJ_simpilot Posted July 21, 2017 Author Share Posted July 21, 2017 I must be really blind I guess. It's just that mine are small and I have to be about 5 miles away I figure to see them. Plus, the runway doesn't come into focus until about 5 or 6 miles as well. Very hard to land sometimes. When I use ATC in the Sim they ask me to report runway in sight at non-towered airports. Since most airports have a GPS approach I just say runway in sight and let the GPS guide me in until I can see the runway then go visual. I do wear my glasses while I fly though. Thank god I have those. I have a stigmatism. OOM errors? Read this. What the squawk? An awesome weather website with oodles of Info. and options. Wile E. Coyote would be impressed.
