atrdriver Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Asking this here because I simply don't know the answer. I was flying into KDFW the other day and was flying the ILS to 36L, but was in visual conditions. The problem was that the ILS had me lined up well to the left of the runway centerline. Are navaids part of the FTX Global package, or are they found somewhere else in the scenery files where I could fix a problem like this myself? I don't ever remember flying an ILS to this RW with the default scenery so I can't say if it worked before installing the FTX Global or not. Thanks!

Alex Goff Posted December 29, 2013 Share Posted December 29, 2013 Hi atrdriver, There are no navaid updates in FTX Global, if you are using third party AI traffic programs it may be a result of one of their APX files. Otherwise I would have to guess it exists in default Regards, Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronski Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Alex is correct, At the time of FSX release, there were major runway works at KDFW and the ILS of 36L was moved to the left, the runway was extended by about 2,000 ft and took almost 2 years, On completion, the ILS beacon was returned to correct position, However,it was written into FSX with this offset position, and exists in default. This was discovered soon after release and there was a fix for FSX, available here; http://flyawaysimulation.com/downloads/files/10969/afcad-file-for-kdfw/ dated a while ago though. Ron.

atrdriver Posted December 30, 2013 Author Share Posted December 30, 2013 Ron, If I apply that fix will it screw anything up in the FTX add-ons? thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronski Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Sorry mate, have no idea, it was too long ago but I remembered the fix. It was just a .bgl file that was simply added, ie. 'KDFW_ADE_SWS.bgl ' to the scenery or addons folder. ( if you had one) There are installation instructions, I can't remember, maybe, to be sure, backup the folder first. It's just a single file, so if you have problems, or if it wants to replace an existing one, make sure to copy the existing one first, then it can be removed if problems happen. I didn't have FTX at the time, but I don't think Orbx made any changes to default Navaids, however, it did change the position of the touchdown distance marker, which was also wrong in FSX. Hope this helps, Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
