Depends on the airport you're at...not all have lit runways!

You could try the night textures on  this page, it helps enhance the experience at night!

Runway lights are added at the time of creation of the runway, and not all runways have lights esp. the ones that are uncontrolled. In the real world some uncontrolled airports a pilot dials in a frequency then keys his mike a couple of time & this will cause the runway light & reels to come on. I am not sure if FS9 has that feature though. 8)
Let us know which airports you are talking about. ???

What kind of video card do you have.i have never heard of anyone haveing this problem before.and do you have the newest drivers for it.i could give you a site for runway enhancement lights but i doubt if you cant see the lights now it probley wont help till you find out why you have no lights.garymbuska yes my dad use to halft to do that at night to get runway lights where he keeps his plane.ACE_777 its a guess on my part but sounds like a vid driver problem.heres the site so you can have a look.
