January 13, 200917 yr The localizer offset should be noted on the approach chart if it is realistic. For example, KJFK ILS RNW 22R has an offset localizer and autoland will not work... also many LDA approaches are like this (PHNL or KSTL come to mind). However, I notice in the pic's that the aircraft is not keeping the localizer deviation indicator in the PFD centered but the flight director steering cue bars are not calling for correction. This is why I thought it might be the registry error. Dan Downs KCRP

January 13, 200917 yr Ron,Think your problem is different from Tom's and the same for all , me included, that use the FSX default scenery at CYYZ rwy23.The Localizer for rwy23 is misaligned to the runway heading by 0.7 degrees. Enough to Autoland the plane outside the runway boarder.(can be corrected by using programs like "Airport Design Editor", ADE).Hope this explains your situation.Regards,HarryThanks Harry for clarifying that. I didn't realize that it was a known FSX problem with the default scenery. I'll look into Airport design editor to try and correct the problem. Good thing I didn't reinstall :( Regards, Ron Gautreau CYYZ
January 13, 200917 yr Author The above pics are a symptom of a registry problem. Please try the repair tool.OK!! Back in business, many thanks!! It works, even with the FRA addon.Thanks to all of you! CU, Tom Morello- FSX SP 2, WIN 7, 64Bit.
January 14, 200917 yr OK!! Back in business, many thanks!! It works, even with the FRA addon.Thanks to all of you!Tom,Thanks for the feedback and providing the missing 1%.Instead of being 99% sure this would solve your offsets, I'am 100% sure now.Regards,Harry
January 14, 200917 yr Thanks Harry for clarifying that. I didn't realize that it was a known FSX problem with the default scenery. I'll look into Airport design editor to try and correct the problem. Good thing I didn't reinstall :(Ron,For me also it wasn't a 'known' problem of the default scenery. But investigating it because of this thread, showed the reason of your misaligned Autolands.ADE is a great program to keep default scenery up to date as much as possible for the airports you frequently use.Glad the clarification saved a complete reinstall.Regards,Harry
