I've reported this problem before and have now tried a half dozen airports but this continuing problem still occurs with the MD 11. On final, I'm always just to the right of the runway. I've reloaded the updated ILS data, double checked the data on the FSC flight plans, made sure the current navigraph is active, basically followed the tutorial guidelines, but the problem still exists. This does not happen on any other PMDG aircraft (or anyone else's either).I've had some suggestions on a prior question but I'm still looking for a solution to this problem. Not fun landing in the dirt next to a runway.Jack Fentress

If you can set "use FSX runway heading" in the MD-11 you need to uncheck that! Is your course heading set correctly? AFCAD?

Boaz.........The course headings for the runway have been set correctly."Use FSX runway heading". I don't recall ever seeing that little thing. Where is it located?Jack Fentress

You wont find that option in the MD11. I take it you have run the flight1 registry tool?

I have run the registry tool. How would I be able to tell for sure?.........and where would I find the runway heading option?Jack F.

As mentioned, the runway heading option is part of the NGX, you won't find it on the MD11.

JackI had this same problem and solved using the FSX Registry Repair, from Flight1.http://www.flight1.com/view.asp?page=library

Be sure to "run as admin" if you have Vista/W7; otherwise it's not allowed to fix the registry by the security nanny.

Sounds like RW navdata VS FSX runway data. the magnetic headings have changed since FSX release.

It could be the magnetic variation in your navigraph data vs what's in the sim. Short of changing every airport manually with an editor, always defer to what's in the sim. I double check all my ILS frequencies and heading with Flightsim Commander. Alternatively, you can pull up the FSX map, and check them there.I did have the same problem you had (approach mode not lining up with the centre line), and it was fixed by running Flight1's registry fix tool.

Can someone explain connection between FSX registry entries and app lining up with center line? tnx

I don't know the ins and outs of it. I read about the problem I was having in this forum, and figured it was worth a shot. Low and behold, after running the fix tool, haven't had the problem since....

The registry entry is used by the pmdg code to find local mag variation, simple.
