Adrian320J41 Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 Hi, I have just downloaded EGPH, the DME used to read 0.5 D on the piano keys on RWY 24 (bad enough as it should be 0.0D), however after updating it now reads 1.4D? Does anybody know if there is a fix? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi there, My apologies for the late reply - I've been waiting to get time to have a look at what's going on. I have the airport in P3Dv4.5 and can confirm what you see. As you may know Edinburgh is an example of a UK airport where the ILS is 'zero ranged to threshold'. This is a cunning method where the DME signal is tweaked to 'fool' the planes instruments into thinking that that the DME equipment is at the runway threshold when it is actually located near the middle of the runway. The problem in the simulator is often that the ADE file places the equipment where it's actually located so the distances are incorrect when using the approach plate. Sadly, in this scenery, the ADE files have the equipment in completely the wrong place (hence the 1.4nm discrepancy). I'll report the issue but that's the best I can offer I'm afraid. All the best, John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
