On my last mission, I had to land on airport with no airport lighting at all.
The mission was from RJOO to ZFEC using PC12. Departing at dusk and arriving at night, I never expected arriaval airport to be non precision and completely dark.
I’ve set up straight in fix for visual approach on MFD and barely made it, but it was quite frustrating. Thought the mission system has to be upgraded right away.
You can check the airport in Navigraph (if you have a subscription) or on chartfox.org. Approach charts will give info about available lighting systems. As I can’t find ZFEC at all (even Google doesn’t know it ), changes are high there isn’t any light.
This is another current 2020 bug that has miraculously appeared in 2024
it was introduced sometime ago and has never been fixed . some airports when you arrive are totally dark although if you spawn there they have lovely lighting
Thank you for moving the thread, and letting me know about the related thread. So sad to see such a basic feature that has to be implemented in the game by its release date as a wish. Hoping the wish will come true soon
If career mode is assigning that as the destination runway (with no alternate airport - you know, reality), why would you have to go to Navigraph to see if Microsoft is flying you to your doom? That makes no sense. That’s like the game assigning you a cruising altitude of 30,000 ft in a Cessna 172. How about the game pulling their head out of their butt?
Also, does the game allow for CTAF-activated lighting?
