If someone has made a updated version for them. I am not sure if there are any for FSX yet. You can try Google to see if you can find any or look in all of the know library's out there? check your private messages for a answer. 8-)

Add or edit these lines in the FSX.cfg, [Display] section.  Experiment with the values to suit your taste.

RUNWAY_LIGHTS_SURFACE_SCALAR=0.5 //scales edge,center,end,touchdown,runways
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_VASI_SCALAR=0.5 //scales VASI lights)
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_APPROACH_SCALAR=0.5 //scales approach light bars
RUNWAY_LIGHTS_STROBE_SCALAR=0.5 //scales RAILs and ODALs).

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

Yes, if they're not already in the [Display] section then paste them in.

You can then adjust the values to suit your taste.
