Here's a question for the AFCAD geniuses out there. I've been tweeking my KSJC on AFCAD to get the correct gate radii set up etc. and the quickest way to do that was to start with a RAFCAD file done by someone else. However, runway 30L was not the new improved length, so I stretched it and re-applied the localizers. I took all the details from the old file first.Now, when I fly an AP approach to this runway, as soon as I intercept the localizer, the AP turns the plane around and flys FROM the bearing, not TO it. What have I done? I've checked the figures for localizer positions, frequencies, true bearings etc. and all seem OK.Attached is the exported file if that will help anyone see what I've done wrong.Keithps 30R works fine. Also reciprocal has same problem i.e. 12R turns me round, 12L works fine.

I'll bump this for you Keith. There was a similar problem on this board in just the last few days. I believe that time it was at KORD. I don't remember what fixed it but I do recall that it got fixed. R-

Is Runway 12 a backcourse approach to the localizer? You would need to select the BC option instead of APPR in the autopilot or it will track the frontcourse of the localizer which is the symptom that you are describing.

Kevin - thanks for the reference. That was related to a Simflyers scenery addon that was somehow affecting the default MS scenery.In my case, I deleted the original localizers in AFCAD, lengthened the runway, then re-inserted them at the correct locations. I can see nothing in AFCAD's "Insert Localizer" dialog that offers me the option to place the localizer as a back course or front course. I wondered if I'd put the localizers at the right ends of the runways (they are at the far end, or departure end) but by comparing my 30L/12R runway (which has the problem) to the 30R/12L set, I think I'm correct.Now, knowing that the localizers are BC I just have to remember to hit the switch on the AP, but it did used to work correctly, and I'd like to know what I did to alter that.Going round in circlesKeith

Hi,AFCAD, while adding navaid information to the Map View, does not add or change actual navaids within FS. For that you need a program called EasyNavs, available at the usual places.Hope this helps,

Have you gotten Easy Nav to work in FS2004?How? The only place I've found that it finds VORs at all is in the generic.bgl but it says it's a compressed format will not open the database.BobL

No I haven't. He mentions that he was editing a RAFCAD file, and thus is using FS2002. Lee hopes that some day he will add that capability to AFCAD2, but it almost certainly won't be in the first release and no promises after that.Hope this helps,--Tom GibsonCal Classic Propliner Page: http://www.calclassic.comFreeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.comDrop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___
