We’re excited to announce Pilot-Controlled Lighting for MSFS2024, the first simulation of pilot-controlled runway lighting for Flight Simulator.
Feel a new level of realism during night flying, as in real-world ops.

How it works?
At untowered or tower-closed airports, pilots tune the assigned PCL frequency and press the push-to-talk key three, five, or seven times within five seconds.
The runway lighting will be activated and remain lit for 15 minutes.
During this period, the pilot can adjust the intensity using the push-to-talk process.
Features list
Simulation of Pilot-controlled lighting (PCL) functionality on MSFS 2024.
Activation of airport runway lighting by the pilot via radio.
Simulates the PCL functionality at 4,500 airports and heliports* worldwide (see map).
Activation occurs when the pilot presses the radio microphone button 3, 5, or 7 times within a 5-second interval.
Simulation of the Lowest, Medium, and Highest lighting intensity.
The lighting remains lit for 15 minutes.
Airport runway lighting is deactivated by default as in real-world ops.
Airport lighting can be activated remotely via Simconnect variables (e.g., an ATC client).
Lights simulated: runway edge, center, threshold, and all types of approach lighting.
System Requirements: MSFS 2024
The software is available in a trial version to test all the features

About VeroRoutes:
I’m the developer and creator of a navigation database utility called FSAerodata, developed for FSX and Prepar3D. It offered global coverage and was updated monthly via AIRAC, making it the first of its kind in flight simulation. FSAerodata set a benchmark in the flight simulation and has been utilized by thousands of simmers over the years.
