Yes, you will see some floating. Also this will be worse in some areas because the distance for all the lights in a particular tile is calculated relative to the tile center, not the individual airport (or runway light group) centers. We might need to do that and eat the frame rate hit of the extra calculations, otherwise the lighting will always float more at some airports and less at others, and often float unacceptably high ...
