This is high on my todo list, but it will involve a substantial amount of effort to do correctly. There is no trivial fix to be had here.
Actually there's little need for a real, perfect system. I thought about making my own crude VASI, a row of red then a row of white. A simple 3D shape like a piece of plywood coming out as a blind at 3 deg to seperate them. Then another, with the base at the same line between the lights, but the upper end 4 inches or so lower than the other blind. The 4 inches or so should block one set of lights as you see the other..
Other thought was 'glideslope'. Glideslope works. No reason not to put a glideslope at the end of the runway, and an instrument at the pilots head that changes the lights by what the pilot eye needle says. Could all use the same unused freq like 000.0, won't matter if the lights on the other end of the runway change too.
Everything angular could use the same code. While VHF UHF and light are very different systems in the real world, they're all doing the same basic function in a sim and could easily be set up to use the same code.
Sounds like you're already there though in a later post..
And my wife
thinks she should be seeing progress on our basement remodeling project.
Sounds like it's time for some retraining. Or maybe just bleach to cut down on the thinking part. :)
