fix airports night lighting on apron/parking (add light poles to aircraft parking spot) at least for major airports
Add light pole to all international and regional airport aprons or parking areas or at the main terminal building
The quick solution that I can think of here, is by assigning 1 light pole to every parking layout in the airport. So all the parking spaces are lit. It can also be set to a specific type of parking. For sample a Ramp GA Small wouldn’t have floodlights, but anything else would
a solution would be to make a batch file or a script file to add a floodlight object to every parking spot so that in can be easily applied as a batch to all AI-generated airports at least for major airports
I think it is something simple to do for asobo engineers
Easy way to make auto gen airports lit is just stick basic lighting on top of buildings pointing to the apron. I’m sure that’s easy to code?
this can be done a lot faster if the Sim itself adds just one more parameters to the AI Generated default airports. By adding a single Light pole and lights on a specific parking type:
GA Ramp Small = No Light
GA Ramp Medium = No Light
GA Ramp Large = Light
Gate Small = Light
Gate Medium = Light
Gate Heavy = Light
If this logic applies to every parking type template, the AI could just generate lights at the entire default airports around the world in one go, since it will only load the parking spots for those aircraft, and since the parking spot template is specified to load the single light pole with lights, then there would always be lights everywhere.
