Wrong ILS glide paths

Featured Replies

Does ILS glide slopes accuracy in 3rd party airports is something the developer is in charge of ? or is it something to with some MSFS/FSX database which could be updated ? 

Almost all the 3rd party airports i got (different developers) ILS glide path brining me in too high and well above the correct glide path. even PAPI showing 4 white.

Seems strange you are having this problem across different airports from different developers. I think it would be helpful if you could identify some of the third party airports you are talking about so other's who might have the same addons could comment on if they are having the same problem. 

Are you having the same issues with LPV RNAV approaches, and with different aircraft?

I'll also mention that it is common for ILS glide paths not to align with the PAPI light signals. Often there will be a comment on the approach chart if that is the case (e.g., VGSI and ILS glidepath not coincident).

Well he's not talking about FlyTampa KLAS ILS 26L for sure, because that one brings you down onto a warehouse.

And FAA Flight Check didn't catch that?

I have a feeling that they didn't survive to report back after test flying it.  😁

In addition to identifying some add-on airports with this problem, might it be useful for the OP to fly a flight or two without them being present? In doing so, wouldn't it be possible to directly ascertain whether or not the problem lies in MSFS or the add-on?

Pity a well known dev like FlyTampa has done jack all about this issue.

That's really interesting ! I wonder it the baro settings has to do with the PMDG presenting wrong ILS path....

I think something is really wrong in the way PMDG despite the glideslopes due to some conflict with MSFS QNH data
