May 29, 20242 yr EDDS (Stuttgart Manfred Rommel Airport) got, ever since it was released. a misplaced ILS for runway 25. When flying an approach to this runway and following the glideslope to it, will get one into terra firma some 500 ft before the runway's threshold. (PAPI's are placed in such a way that you only can see them right before you meet the soil. Great, too. Not 🙂 ) A few days ago I got so fed up with this, let's call it, undocumented feature that I decided to buy a payware version of Stuttgart airport. I got myself RDPresets' version only to find out that this scenery didn't correct the ILS. Do any of you know if there is a patch for this phenomenon around and if so where I can find it or is there a payware or freeware version of EDDS with correct placed ILSes and if there is, where I can find it.

May 30, 20242 yr I have all the EDDS add-ons that exist out there and I must say that there is no good EDDS add-on on the market. Worst is of course if the basics are wrong like thresholds of the runway, the taxiways and the ILS is not correct. There are so many airports in MSFS that have a misplaced ILS either the default airports or add-ons. Often it seems it's all about the nice stuff inside terminal buildings the scenery developers get praised for. I think we should really talk about the quality of add-ons, and it would start that reviewers pay attention to stuff that is operationally relevant, like: Airport altitude Thresholds correct ILS are correctly aligned Taxiways are correct (and readable correctly by ATC add-ons) Parking positions correct ... I ended up using the MSFS default airport together with the following fix: https://flightsim.to/file/21629/edds-runway-slope-and-ils-fix. Best, Andreas

It is such a shame that people are wasting money on 3rd party add-ons of the "quality" of EDDS. Like you I am back at the default MSFS EDDS. I did see the fix in the link you sent, but somewhere in the reviews it was said that also this fix wasn't good enough. Following your advise, I will go and get it and use it as well. Thanks a lot for your response.
