Yes, interesting matter.
We can always improve the code, but once again, to start with, check your setup, because the differences between your screens and the others one are quite significant
Honestly, I also thought the same thing, but I don't seem to see big differences with your images. I made a course of approach with the UFO at various distances, maintaining an angle of 4-5 deg of slope.
As you can see at 1 nm the lights are no longer visible (for example the green spotlights that limit the entrance of the runway), these lights are spotlights with lamps over 100-150W (2-4 times greater than a car light ) as indicated by the manuals with a central area of 7 deg and a lower intensity of 15 deg (approximately) these lighthouses, with the declared powers are visible at a distance of different nm in conditions of visibility such as those of the photo. Unfortunately the indications of the technical regulation do not give the visibility in nm or km but only the measurement in candles as rightly to certify these lighting systems it is necessary to have reliable data. The powers in an approaching system for a CAT I ... III are of several KW and therefore the overall lighting could give a visibility around 25-50% of that of the PAPI that instead has been declared by the normative not only as an angle of vision, but also distance.
It must be said that the legislation recommends for example the variation of intensity during landing to avoid problems for the pilot, the track is illuminated in the first part by the lamps placed on the runway level etc ...
Therefore it could be interesting, during the approach, to change the light intensity of the track.
Always up to standard the raised lamps (for example the blue ones) are omnidirectional, have a power of 40W with halogen lamp and therefore are certainly visible along the track, but disappear around 1-2 nm both horizontally and vertically) In practice if flight over the airport at 10,000 ft I have to see the layout of the runways and taxiways. Which I currently do not see. I hope I'm not unlucky with the configuration, but it seems strange to me.
