I notice in a number of flight simultors that the airports tend to be lit
up
far brighter than they are in real life. In FS2004 you can pick out the
airport pretty easily by the spot green light or runway lights that kind
of
jump out of the scenary. In real life it is much more subtle, especially
in
an urban area where the airport can get lost among the thousands of city
lights nearby.

Any method for making the airport lights less distnictive or just turning
them down?

Go to the AVSIM downloads section , and look under FS2004 Scenery for a file
called rlights.zip. A quote from the AVSIM description: "
File Description:
reduced the oversized green and blue taxiway lights and also the big red
lights on parking ramps. The runway lights are now a little bit smaller but
clear and bright. By: Holger Busekros (CB)"

I tried this file and it performs as descibed. The lights are smaller and
don't appear as bright but are intense enough to be distinct from the
general background
