Custom RWY Lights FS9

[Fox]

Hi, I am working on a new EBAW project wich will replace my old one, now I am working with a photorealistic surface and so I am making a custom build rwy. Well for buildings I use gmax, but the airport I still making with airport for windows, and some simply thinghs like a taxilight (blue) or rwylight (white)I still make with the good old EOD program, this works fine but there is a problem with the rwylights. There fade from a distance, so I want the rwylights to be brighter from a distance like the lights when you use the standard rwy option in most designer programs, these lights can you see from a great distance, I suspect that it is something in the scm code. So here is de scm code that EOD as made.........
;ASDesign Compatible Macro
;Name=Taxilight, Type=EOD , Bitmap=EBAW-TAXI-WIT.bmp, \
;FixedLength=0, FixedWidth=0, autoscale, \
;Latitude, Longitude, Rotation, Scale=1, Density=0, \
;Visibility=0, Range=10, Elevation=0, Shadow=1,

Hi,

No, those custom lights seem to have a lower visibility than the default runway ones. There is no easy way around this.

One work around that people sometimes use is to show the default runway lights from a distance and switch to the custom ones when you get closer.
