This package will greatly enhance all of the default airports night lighting throughout the world. However, this package will not affect some of the major default airports. The reason is because they contain their own night and day textures for some or all of their buildings. Having said that, this package will still enhance the night lighting in the majority of cities and airports.

So what exactly has improved, you ask? This is what has been improved:

-Improved night lighting for all default airports in FS2004 (excludes some of the major airports*)
-Improved night lighting for all default cities in FS2004.
-Improved night lighting for all default auto-gen buildings. (Auto-Gen buildings do not include landmarks or unique buildings used specifically by one city)

So what can you expect to see? Expect to see more vibrant and brighter lights throughout cities and airports. The end result is a more realistic night experience around cities and airports.
