Airport Wizard utility

Last night I bought and downloaded the Airport Wizard utility currently for sale at a discount through (I think) FS PilotShop. This utility allows changes to airport taxiway and runway edge and center lights and striping, plus allows placement of various apron lights. I ran test installations on a few airports last night and I'm impressed. No more groping around the apron at night. One other thing I noted is the light effect will actually reflect off the aircraft parked on the apron; it isn't just a spot of light on the ground leaving the aircraft dark. I have not noted a change in frame rates so far, although there is a warning in the installation instructions for the utility that placing these objects at a large airport may cause just such a condition. If one is judicious re: the number and placement of the lights, I don't think there will be a problem.

Haven't gotten any screenshots yet to illustrate this, although the site has before-and-after shots to illustrate the differences possible with use of the utility. I recommend one check this out, for curiosity's sake if for no other reason.
