Hi, yes, the 850 genapts supports the new approach lights. In fact, even the 850 version did in theory, but the file format did not.
The relevant code starts here: https://gitorious.org/~papillon81/fg/terragear850/blobs/tg850/src/Airports/GenAirports/lights.cxx#line2635 Please ignore the "XXXX not supported by data base" comments. Those types are also supported. I only have to correct the comments. Of course they work with FG.
