Well, you will be "stuck" with that username here for as long as you remain a member... :Thinking:I'm not sure why you're asking about "calculating accuracy" because everything regarding that is preset in the core simulator engine, and is not user adjustable... :(

For what it's worth, according to the FSX SDK there are the following system variables:NAV GSI:index Glideslope needle deflection (+/- 119). Note that this provides only 8 bit precision, whereas NAV GLIDE SLOPE ERROR provides 32 bit floating point precision. NAV GLIDE SLOPE ERROR:index Difference between current position and glideslope angle. Note that this provides 32 bit floating point precision, rather than the 8 bit integer precision of NAV GSI.
