Hi,
I used to have a copy of your wonderful ILS inspector which searched for the Bgl file from the airport code you entered. Do you still have copies of that version to download?

Hello Si No ILS inspector has evolved a lot. All previous functions of it, with a lot of changes and additions, is now available in AIE (Airport Inspector and Editor) you will find here www.aero.sors.fr/navaids.html-H |

Hi,
I have no 'Search Stock Airport' in the 'Select Data' drop down menu.
You mention it in the Create a new ILS workbook I have been going through?
I am using Version 2.4
Is it on a different version?
Thanks,
Simon

There's no more "Search stock airport". Just use the Select Data - Analyse BGL folder menu and select the directory/folder where your default sim files are. It does the same
This procedure is much more flexible and doesn't require any search for where the "default" sim is, especially for those having different versions installed

Unfortunatelly it is not working for me. Running P3D v5.1 HF1
I want to change the wrong ILS allignment for RW31 in KSGJ.
But when I scan the P3D scenery folder pretty much all airports are said to have no ILS (discrepancy report) which is not true.
Therefore I cannot even find the airport in the ILS editor. I only want to change 2 degrees on a simple ILS. Whyever Lockheed Martin is paying so less attention to these highly impportant things is out of my understanding.
So I tried this software and ADE, but the later is way to complicated for me and I do not have the nerves to learn many days just to adjust for LM´s lack of care.
If anyone knows of a simple way to change this ILS which does not require a master in rocket science I would appreciate any help. Thanks.

Hi Michael
I have absolutely no problem editing P3DV5.1 airport files with AIE. At this time I corrected a lot of wrong ILSs in the US from default 5.1 APX files
There's probably a problem locating the files you wish to amend.
The file you have to load is the APX26210.BGL that is located in your ..\Scenery\0302\scenery folder
Please email me directly and I will be glad to help. Ensure you have AIE version 2.41 (the latest)
Incidentally, KSGJ ILSDME 31 (IGUH) is an offset ILS (1.22° offset according to FAA terminal approach chart). It is not aligned to runway. Rwy true course is 306.3° while ILS course is 307.5°. So it is not so realistic to force ILS alignment for it..but anyway, it is not the subject
Looking forwards
Hervé

Good afternoon.
Last year I fixed my local aiport ILS with this wonderful software, it was misaligned with the runway so when following the loc and gs it landed 10-15 feet to the right from the runway. After a year (yesterday) I tried to fix it again since I had to reinstall my FSX and I can't do it anymore, first of all that when I open the "analize single bgl file" tab (inside the scenery folder) there are ton of bgl files with "apx";"brx" names etc., and back then I used to find it easily as this video shows in the 02:07 minute to be exact if anyone could take a look. Am I missing any step?
Any help would be appreciated to overcome this issue,
Thanks in advance.

Hello Larson,
Stock airports (with associated ILSs) are included in APX files.
If you don't know in which file a particular airport is located, just select the entire folder.
SGAS is located in the following file
FSXfolder/Scenery/0405/scenery/APX32400.bgl

I just did it and it worked perfectly, thanks for helping me to locate the airport I was requesting inside the .bgl files. I'm really grateful, thanks Hervé. |

Hi
I found out that the ILS didn't work on some airports so I entered the inspector program and could copy the AIRAC data, save the BGL file and then the ILS was working ... almost.
The APP button do not find the glideslope. So when the glideslope "diamond" passes, the plane doesn't catch it, it just continue on level-flight. Just like it was a LOC approach. The LOC works.
Did I miss something when editing the ILS?

Hi Mats
There's no reason APP do not work if glide slope signal is active and received correctly. So, I doubt it is a problem with the ILS characteristics as defined in the BGL file. These problems are mostly related to aircraft autopilot approach settings. Did you check with at least one stock aircraft having an ILS APP mode?
However, if you want I check data you modified, I will need you send me the BGL files you modified with AIE. See my mail on my home page

Thanks Herve.
And you're absolutely right, that there is no "problem with the ILS characteristics as defined in the BGL file."
I tried a 3:rd airport, and the problem was there as well.
I then restarted everything and the App-button then worked even on those first 2 airports.
Really a weird problem not having the App button working.
So everything is ok now, thanks for your attention.

Good afternoon everyone, @herve
Few days ago I supposedly corrected the ILS of my local airport (SGAS) that was misaligned with the runway. Since that day I haven't tried any approach until today and as soon as I see in the map, the localizer still seems to be off center. I did an ILS autoland in order to check if this was the case and unfortunately it is.
The AIE says to me that there is no discrepancy found inside the .bgl (days ago when I did it for the first time it did said there was a discrepancy found and through the following steps to correct this issue it was "solved").
The thing is I restored the file, did the whole process again (align loc, get airac data, commit changes etc,) but nothing had changed, the ILS is still misaligned and the aircraft touches down like 30 ft to the right of the runway (the same issue I had a year ago).
Any clue of why this might be happening?
Regards.
