Well, can't we *assume* that the rumway is perfactly flat? As we are drawing it independantly (sort of) from the rest of the scenery (AFAIK), we could use our own lighting for those few polygons. IMHO it's save so assume that the landinglights are only used on the runway. All other cases sould be too rare to really care about them.
