I just use ADE9 to add a lighting effect, to the AFD.

Can't do it in FSDS, you have to use an effect as Mark is saying.

This may seem a daft question, but how do you do it in ADE?

Right click/Add/Effect.........Then choose the one you would like to use. Trial and error really to find the one you want. The manual can explain more than me.

Okay Dale,
In the parameters section of your properties you need to enter the following;
DAY=0;NIGHT=1;
That will take care of them showing during the day.
What I do (thanks to Mark C for the tip) having made my effect, I then copy it and paste it on top of the original.
In the copy parameters, I enter;
DAWN=1;DUSK=1;
which as it says allows the lights to come on and go off at more realistic times.
Hope this helps.
Stew

You put both entries in the "parameters" section Dale.
Look at your first image - the section below the effect name.
