No issues with V2. It's easy to fly. Even with the misaligned IRS coming into  Naples eastbound RW 06. I wish I could remember where I bought this airport so I could raise a ticket. Not that the dev would do anything about it. Or is it Navigraph or the Fenix?

did you mean ILS , and i think 06 at LIRN is an offset ILS isnt it ?

I must say I’m really enjoy 2.0 . The only thing I miss is basic WX radar for immersive purposes

Has anyone tested how is the performance compared to the 737 from PMDG? According to the official slides, the performance would be on par, but how is it in reality, with AI Traffic and third-party airports? What still holds me back from purchasing this plane is some reports here of low FPS.

Specs in signature.

Verticalsim KBOI with FSLTL traffic. Same exact scenario. 4k everything ultra with 200 TLOD.

PMDG: 102 FPS

Fenix: 99 FPS

Fenix used to be about 80 FPS and noticeably choppier. In my experience they now both feel the exact same in regards to fluidity.

Results with my low end system (8700k, 1080TI) in an average testing scenario:

PMDG 38 FPS

FenixV2 39 FPS

FenixV1 35 FPS.

And the Fenix has an EFB    😉

Why? Tory already have API for basic radar

Sorry Asobo. I was typing on the phone (while walking) LOL

I don’t think the API is for Wx Radar…. rather for NEXRAD. I too would love accurate Wx depictions, but we are still working on accurate Wx…

It’s not a bug, nor something that needs to be fixed. The runway 6 ILS at LIRN is not misaligned due to an error in the scenery or any add-on aircraft.

The r/w localizer is deliberately offset 3 degrees to the right of the runway centerline. This is annotated on the r/w approach chart.

The reason they do that is because of the 1745-foot hill that sits just to the left of the extended centerline 4.5 miles from the threshold. If the localizer was perfectly aligned with the runway centerline, aircraft would come too close to that hill for safe terrain clearance.

That is why it pays to look at the approach plate.

Ah! Thanks so much for the clarification.  I've never heard of such a thing before? I'll have to read up on the normal landing procedure Ie at which point do you deviate from the ILS track and line up with the runway?

When visual with the runway and the area and clear of the obstacle.

Usually when a localizer is offset, it will cross the runway centerline at the point where you arrive at the missed approach altitude. Just a matter of making a slight turn at that point to align with the runway.

Localizers can be offset for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it is done for terrain clearance as with the ILS06 at LIRN.

Sometimes it is done for technical reasons. Runway 22R at KJFK is offset 2.5 degrees, because if they had tried to build the localizer antenna directly on the runway centerline, it would have had to been constructed in the water of the bay that is right beyond the threshold at the opposite end.

The most extreme offset in the US is the LDA 19 approach at KDCA, which is offset by almost 40 degrees. There is no glideslope - it is a localizer only. That is done to keep arriving aircraft out of the restricted airspace over the center of Washington DC. That approach has high minimums and requires a substantial right turn (in visual conditions) when arriving at the MDA to align with the runway.
