Assuming you mean Sandspit, BC - what exactly is wrong with the ILS ??

I looked at the Canada charts for CYZP. (CAP 2 page 157 edition of Feb 2010) and it shows the runway mag heading of 122 degrees with a listed approach course of 119 degrees, so without more data I can't really say it is wrong in FSX.scott s..

Hi, the default FSX scenery gives this information for CYZP from [ideal Flight]:CYZP Sandspit, British Columbia, CanadaLocation: Lat N53° 15', Lon W131° 49', Altitude 21 ftRunways 12/30: Asphalt, Length 5072 ft, Width 150 ftRunways 8/26: Grass, Length 2385 ft, Width 150 ftRunway 12: Heading 144.95 Degrees, ILS 109.50 MHzRunway 30: Heading 324.95 DegreesRunway 8: Heading 104.76 DegreesRunway 26: Heading 284.76 DegreesRamps: Small, MediumParking: FuelLocal Magnetic Variation: -23.00 DegreesNDB: ZZP, MH, 248.0 KHzMaybe this helps...Best regads; Steve

Agree that the true runway heading in FSX is 144.95, but we don't know if that is correct. Eyeballing it in GE it looks about 144.3 to me, but I can't make out the ILS localizer antenna array.scott s..

Magnetic variation causing your issues? FSX default scenery could be way off these days. Regards; Steve.

It's clear when looking at the airport/runway in ADEX that the localizer is not aligned to runway centerline (RWY true heading is 144.95 and localizer true heading is 141.0). The problem is when you look at the charts, it suggests that is correct, but it's hard to prove. The charts do show a mag var of 22E, and the stock airport shows 23E but even correcting for that it still isn't clear that the localizer should be aligned off the centerline.scott s..

I can remember coming in on ILS to several airports in FSX and found the angle off somewhat. I think that is actually true for some airports. Will look at CYZP when I get a chance, see what's going on.Later...

CYZP ILS brings you in on the right of runway 12. So not sure if that's correct. Airport info on the web only says VOR/DME approaches.Steve

SkyKing never has come back to tell us exactly what he thinks is wrong at Sandspit. :(
