Yep, thats a strange one alright. Unfortunately FS2004 doesnt have LDIN
lights, but I gave it a whirl anyway. Why would the procedure be
unauthorized without the lead-in lights? Get to DMYHL, if you see the
airport you proceed, if you don't you go missed.

That misses the point of the real procedure. With the Lead In lights you can
proceed beyond the missed approach point without seeing the runway until a lot
closer to the airport. Without the Lead In lights and during restricted
visibility conditions the chances are pretty good that some big jets would end
up wandering around off track very low over some very noise sensitive
neighborhoods.

Those approaches are there to minimize noise until the weather gets really bad,
then they switch to the ILS Runway 13L.

The "Carnisie" VOR approach has been around since the 1960s. Most airline
pilots that go into JFK are quite familiar with how to use it, unlike someone
showing up without a clue.
