Runway Lights Brightness Low Visibility

It seems like in FS2024 the runway/approach lights are dimmed during daylight conditions which is a good thing except during low visibility conditions like fog, low clouds, rain etc. You can hardly see the runway lights in these conditions on approach. Maybe an idea to link the runway lights brightness settings to the closest METAR available? So with low visibility/rain/low cloud base the light brightness will turn up again?

Every light is dimmed during daytime … it becomes obvisous and unrealistic if its cloudy or foggy… dark winter days… they look literally like they are called … also landing lights etc are not glowing at all… every light is set to full at this pic at eddh airport today … at night you are loosing your eyelight due to the brightness of the reflections from the glass at the terminal

Not sure if the sim can recognize light levels, might be easier to link it to IFR conditions.

Today, i have made a flight from EGLL at 1:00PM, luminosity has been very dark because weather but airports lights has not up.

That not very realistic and th airport look so cold and inanimed. Can you base the lights switch from luminosity or add a switch in the weather panel ?
