Hi Kan-ichiro,I just looked at the AFCAD for the default PANC (FS9), there is no ILS and no markers at all on the 25R approach, so taking off from 7L wouldn't trigger the indication. CheersMark Adeane

If your initial post says circle with an M, then it must be the Middle marker annunciation. There's several fields around there, so if you're turning to heading 330, then you probably picked up another airport's marker. Happens all the time.
