Add PAPI lights to SABA for FS9

[Jellis]

Hi everyone,
I am wondering if it is possible to add PAPI lights and Runway Edge lights to the SABA airport. In the e-AIS file for the airport, it has these. They were added back several years ago when air service resumed at the airport.

So you know, I have already tried doing this in ADE for FS9 and AFLT for FS9. Nothing shows up from AFLT, and only if you are in Spot Plane mode and move down to just above the runway elevation can you see that ADE has added the PAPI lights, but they are not visible in regular flight.

Please let me know what I am doing wrong.

Thanks in advance for all your help,
Jeff

Adding them to the AFcad file is the only idea that could work. But it is possible that the custom 3d ground/terrain will render on top of the Papis no matter what. One thing you can try is to also set the runway elevation 1m higher in ADE file. This will cause other issues, but will clear up whatever the papi light could render above the ground or not. If that works, you would have to set the runwnay elevation back the way it was and create a separate Afcad with a dummy invisible runway that serves no purpose other then to generate the Papis.

Hi Martin,
Thanks for the ideas. I actually tried all of that and none of it worked.

Changing the runway elevation did nothing make the PAPI's visible.

Guess we'll just have to live with it the way it is.

Thanks again,
Jeff
