Designed for use with photogrammetry. Light poles require Asobo Meigs Field (Installed by default with SU11)
Design using following mods: Asobo Meigs Field, WU2 USA, photogrammetry, Bijan's 3D Trees
Known Issues
Lights are hodge podged using existing objects in the sim, no custom light model yet
Light orbs may appear abnormally large on short final - limitation of light propogation in MSFS requires large orbs instead of high intensity
Missing 1 sequence light on the south side of the Ramada Plaza Hotel - unable to verify/observe its existence in normal operations
Missing 1 sequence light on Lefferts Boulevard - I suck and can't find it
Lights in the next set may not be visible in low visibility conditions despite real life examples - limitation of light propogation in MSFS
Null airport (QCAR) exists to enable flash orbs. It is marked as a closed airport and hopefully should not cause any issues with navdata or avionics, please leave a comment if it does.
Description
Addition of sequenced flashing lights required to conduct Parkway visual approaches to runway 13L/R via Canarsie Pier. Repetition frequency for sets varies for time of day and weather conditions, but making it so in the sim is quite difficult, so instead the highest repetition frequency has been opted to cover all conditions.
Light pole presently uses resources from Asobo Meigs Field which is installed by default with SU11. Please leave a comment if you wish for a version without requiring Meigs Field to be installed. Approximation of height used, may not be 100% accurate. Lights placed in exact locations as per real life counterparts except for single sequence light on south side of the Ramada Plaza Hotel. I could not verify/observe its existence.
Possibility of trees being taller and obscuring light poles, this is a long standing MSFS issue with trees that are too massive. Please leave feedback if this is observed, I may consider scaling the lights taller which is unforunately unrealistic.

Stratocruiser
This approach is used as VOR or GPS for 13Lor R at KJFK. It is also used as RNAV (GPS) Z RWY 13L
If you go to www.airnav.com, click on Airports and enter KJFK then scroll down you will find the printable downloads for all the approaches to the airport. The ones you want for this are the ones I listed above. Basically, you will want to start the approach at the VOR DME Canarsie {CRI] freq. 112.3 which is about 5 miles SW of KJFK on a heading of 043 degrees. Look for the white flashing strobe lights indicating the path and final turn to the right.
Thanks.

Thank you for developing this set of lights, which greatly improve the experience of flying this approach, widely used when the winds are favorable to land on RWY 13L/R, this due to conflicts and the distribution of traffic between the KJFK airport and the many other airports in the area (including La Guardia KLGA).
Thanks to people like you for making this hobby so entertaining and bringing it closer to real life.
