I will say, on an HDR monitor I haven’t had any complaints finding PAPI lights; these and aircraft running lights are noticeably brighter than surrounding ground. (Mine’s rated for 1000 nits max brightness, which gives much better daytime view than my older 400-nit monitor.)
Yours has a two-box VASI on the left side (V2L). @CasualClick has a four box PAPI (P4L), also some sort of MALS and maybe centerline lights. One of these things is not like the other, but neither is correct (should be a P4L, but no MALS or CL). Either of you running a mod/third-party scenery? Beta? World update?
its like i’m missing that “bloom” effect that is what makes them bigger
they show as a single tiny pixel for me
i checked my bloom setting in the game, its on
some setting in the nvidia driver?
I also see the beacon light at the end of the runway.
Like @CasualClick , I have an Intel ARC770. The screenshot is from my 55" TV @4k. I have no difficulty seeing the lights, though it is hard to see from the pic as it has been modified during the upload process.

Yes. The 55" TV is HDR capable and is enabled in the OS & in the TV settings. Peak brightness, as shown in System > Display > Advanced Display is 1,499 nits.
The second (32") TV used by MSFS (Experimental Window # 1) is not HDR capable, so HDR is unavailable to be turned on in the OS.
HDR 10 is turned on in the MSFS Graphics Settings.
im beginning to think that may be the issue here…maybe the game was made to be run on a hdr monitor
although i’m not sure how this all comes together when you do a screenshot, and i see that screenshot here, on my NON hdr screen… and the papis do indeed look much more visible
im a bit out of my league here
lol, I know it’s not the thread topic, but y’all gotta stop posting these pics with wrong VGSIs as it’s triggering my OCD and filling up my World Hub queue.
25 at KLEB should currently be a P4R. That said, I’m sure it used to be a V4L, but as you can plainly see in the pic, the old VASI are misplaced - the aerial shows there should be much more spacing and the downwind (closer) bar is way too far from the end of the runway, leading to a much higher threshold crossing height than it should be.
Back to topic - I don’t use an HDR monitor and they can be a bit hard to see, especially if the background is lighter.
