It would be very nice to see proper Runway/Taxi and center lights that are not floating. In fact, the light are not even close to being centered.
The purpose of the center line is for safety. The distraction of the floating light and misplaced lights makes finding taxiways impossible.
I know this can be corrected, because I have used simulators with proper lights. I'm not sure why Prepar3d is not willing to correct this. It is an
important factor for flight training. I have never seen a runway light in the middle of a crossing runway. Hopefully, Prepar3d will concider making
this Flight Training Simulator superior.

Maybe a video to show.

I did notice floating and not exactly on center but I could follow them.

This ever get any love?
I've seen this at several airports now - Really distracting to be literally going "through" the lights as you proceed down the runways

The solution which many 3rd party developers use is to create 3d models for the stanchion poles and use custom emissive textures for lighting. This is a good feature request though! We need to come up with a solution that will look good for all 24000 airports (OK not all of them have lighting :))
