Hello
When I’m landing there are no runway centre lights. Even the threshold lights are sometimes off. Is this is a known bug or is there a fix.
What airport? Could be a runway that isn’t equipped with lights.

Well, quite a few airports don’t have lights in real life. This applies to most grass and water runways (although some of both actually do) and also quite a few paved runways at smaller, more remote airfields. And occasionally, MSFS lacks lights when the real airport has them, although this is rare.
So, are you experiencing this problem at ALL airports or just certain ones?
Edinburgh to heatrow for example.
So department Edinburgh. No issues ( all depatures no problems. ) but then landing at LHR there is no centreline light. Just the taxi lights. Even the red / white bar has gone
You mean PAPI lights? Or the treshold lights?
Can you get a screen shot?
Taxi lights only is odd.

There is all kinds of issues in this sim regarding lights, and several topics about it.
I have sent bugreport to the zendesk with video evidence and tried getting any kind of response and help, but just like the times before when Ive reported issues and asked for help its nothing but crickets and tumbleweed.
Anyways, here is one topic discussing issues with runway lights:
Yes I get this issue too, I generally fly out of Glasgow UK, and I’ve tried to land at Dublin/Prestwick/Edinburgh and the lights are never turned on.
It’s not a “flickering’ or intermittently on and off. It’s like a guy in the tower has forgot to turn them on that night. These airports have lights, not grass or anything like that.
I’m on Xbox S.
To add, taxi lights, some threshold ones are, it’s literally the runway not on
Hello. This happens since the last update. Now it happens to me at all airports, even the default ones. You cannot land at night, all the runways are without lights. It is a serious problem that should be solved as soon as possible. Could you help us? Some answer?
Thank you for your response

This is exactly what happens to me.
Is it just a UK thing?
So Edinburgh and EGLL only have taxi lights. No runway lights. So I have to use the green taxi lights for guidance. Really irritating.
I usually fly in Spain, and for several days I have not been able to land at night in Madrid Barajas. All the streetlights are turned off, not even the taxi ones. First I thought that this error was this airport, so I tried in El Prat-Barcelona, I bought it and I had the same problem. I thought then that it was a problem of good airports, and I tried in Seville, which is the default. The same. For example in Ibiza, also bought and in Cairo I could see lights, but when I landed the lights were above the runway at different heights. It is awful…
No it’s a sim think many none detailed standard airports have no centreline runway lights, pretty poor for a flight sim don’t you think for something so obvious.
(not talking about grass or small airfields but many standard major airports have no centre lights and some with no papi lights also so good luck landing on those at night.
Right posting again as this still hasnt been fixed for some reason. I have this issue repeatedly at ENSB, but recently now at DTNH as well. I had to go around and divert to DTTA as I dont like changing the sim away from situations that would happen in reality if I didnt have RW lighting during a night landing. Please address this Asobo!
There are no runway center lights at KLAS RW 01R.

A lot of airports (international ones) do not have runway center lights in reality.
There is another bug in the sim though that has never been fixed - on some airports, lights do not turn on at night which makes them completely dark. It happens very often in the northern Europe. Whenever I fly anywhere in Sweden/Norway, there is a 50/50 chance for me that the runway will be completely dark, no lights at all.
