Landing and/or taxi lights on airplanes don't project far enough or bright enough

I distinctly remember taxiing at an airport in X-Plane, at night, in the Thranda Kodiak (which I hope one day will make its way to this sim!), and had parked up to clean up the aircraft. I noticed in the distance, maybe a 100 or more metres away, a large building that was illuminated while the others were not.

I then realised I had left both my taxi as well as landing lights on. I turned them off, and everything ahead went dark. The lights on the Kodiak are like searchlights! The kind of thing you might want on approach. I also remember coming in to land on runway 30 at Hoskins in PNG, low over the trees, and they comfortably light up everything below for quite some distance.

You just don’t get that in this sim, so I will certainly look at that mod, and see what it offers.
