Spent an hour or so yesterday practicing blind landings. Here are some observations (not necessarily bugs):

- runway lights intensity is very low, and they're practically useless. What is the distance from the field when they can be turned on? I tried calling for lights on outer and on inner marker and nada, they switched them on when I was maybe 200m from rwy threshold - needless to say they were of no use then.

- landing an airplane without landing lights at night with close to zero vis is very hard - real B-25 had landing lights, of course, but in Il-2 they're mysteriously absent. Could the landing lights be added to B-25 in 4.11?

-what is the glideslope angle for ILS in the game? Standard 3 degrees? It would help in calculating the approach altitude.

- the NDB and ILS work very well .
