All the edge lights I've seen so far are incredibly directional, because they burn a lot of electricity and directionality saves on your power bills. I'd estimate that HIRL is brighter than normal city lighting out to 10nm when aligned with the runway. In the transverse direction, I can barely see the lights when 0.5 nm away (i.e. on downwind) at some airports. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-devel mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-devel
