Hi guys, I think I may of spotted a FSX bug, unless there's something wrong with my game Undecided

Anyways basically the night lights on the end section of certain runways seem to be floating in the air slightly - This screenshot was taken at EGNM Runway 32 (please have a look yourself to confirm, ty):

NOTE: These lights are on the actual runway (tarmac) where you take off from, they are NOT on the grass.

Is this an error made by ACES or is it supposed to be like this?

Thanks

- if i remember correctly that happens at all big airports, something to do with your POV and if they are flat on ground then the user cnt "read" them properly
