Does anyone know why the approach lighting and TDZ lighting is missing from many large airports in the UK and EU in Aerofly FS4? Also is there a way to manually add them?

Please give me some examples so I can look at this.
And yes, it can also be supplemented in principle, I am currently createding a kind of pattern for this.

I looked at the airfields EGPH, EGPF and EGNT. All three are created by designers.
The easiest would be if the designers in the respective TAP files at the runways in the respective rows ...
Code<[string8][appltsys][...] >... enter the corresponding ALS and then convert a new version from it.
Alternatively, it would also be sufficient to adapt this in the respective TSC and WAD. However, since both are compiled, this cannot be done immediately. However, it does not make sense to change anything in the original FS 4 directory anyway.
Another possibility is to create an additional aerodromes EGPH00, EGPF00 and EGNT00, which consist only of the runway and the respective ALS. I tried this and it works - but unfortunately there is a height problem of about 1m, which I can not get eliminated.
Thus, the only possibility for us users is currently to create the missing lighting elements as a POI. The disadvantage is that it is a somewhat tricky small job (but with a little cleverness it is not so bad), the advantage is that it will even look good.
I'll try it at one of the airfields.

Nice work.. The POI seems a good workaround to restore these.

Are you able to do this for OBBI (Bahrain) or type a short tutorial?
Thanks

Since such requests come again and again, I will write and publish a small guide.

That would be excellent, thank you!

I don't know when I'll be able to write a guide. Therefore, I once entered the lamps from the approach light for the RW30R from OBBI and also added in keywords for the first elements, what the data are.
The AddOn is an addition that must be stored in the FS 4 user folder as a POI.
