Las Vegas arrival and a question or two

Featured Replies

Here are screenshots of my recent flight from KTPA - KLAS (screenies taken toward arrival, so no KTPA shots). Enjoy. Now my question:In the next screenie, see how the HGS runway outline is wrong? What could be the cause, anyone? I got the elevation from the chart which says TDZE = 2069'. I forgot to get the screenshot, but the PFD also says in yellow LDG ALT if I remember correctly. Here is a link to the actual chart I used: http://204.108.4.16/.../00662IL25L.PDF Also, all the buildings in the background are all shimmering. How can I stop that? Thanks for your help.

I have eVGA GTX580 superclocked and I'm using the 8xSQ in the pinned nVidia configuration guide. I know I did the MagDec update, I have not seen this problem at any other airport (I only fly to addon airports). The outline has always been perfectly superimposed or few inches to the sides but perfectly symmetrical (if the right line is 2" to the right then the left line is also 2" to the left). Oh I just noticed on the screenshot that the heading is 257. that's weird because if the runway heading is 255, then I should be showing less than that since I'm pointed to the left. I now understand why you mentioned the MagDec. I'll redo the update and try again. But before now, I was really concerned with the runway outline being way narrower and to the side of the runway (see picture): Has anyone had any similar experience? Could someone please do an instrument approach on 25L KLAS and tell their findings? Especially anyone who has the FSDT KLAS scenery? I'll appreciate it much. Thanks in advance

It would have been better to ask this question in the apropriate PMDG forum rather than here. Btw. I should delete the picture you´ve posted in a subsequent post. But it´s to illustrate your problem, so I´ll let it where it is. But this won´t happen again. Please stick to the rule next time.

Best regards, Steffen

Sorry about the second pic. Also, I didn't post this originally here. I posted in the 737NGX forum. I think it was moved here by a moderator, maybe because of the screenshots. I guess I should have posted the screenies separate from the problem.
