X-Plane ILS fan connected on GS antenna not on Localiser antenna

[an2728]

Why Plan-G connected at  x-plane  ILS fan from glise slope antenna  insted of localiser antenna
While the Localiser only fan from the localiser antenna .
How to show Ils information

How to fix that

P.S. I have picture but I do not know how to attach or send them nor log file

I can see the "ILS cones" correctly. Or I didn't understand what you mean...

Why Plan-G © Connecta has x-plane ILS are shown.Your © s à Locate from while they are shown.Your Map © s to locate them. So we only see the information not ILS GS How to deal Ra © à § a?

Se attache for explanations

Hello Paul,

Not sure of the question either.  If I remember correctly, Green fan shows both lateral and vertical signals.  A red fan indicates that there is no
vertical signal and its up to you to pilot down at the proper vertical rate.
Does this help?

Why is it then that the green fan shows connected to glideslope antenna not on localiser antenna

Also why is t that right mouse click on green fan show GS information

The direction of fan are also wrong and not in line with runways direction

Paul,

Well I would think that Plan-G is only as good as the data that it receives from the X Plane data files..I took a look at the map within x plane  and to me both ILS at LFKC and LIRF are right in line with their respective runways. (Exception is LIRF at high zoom level, see next paragraph) .
I also looked at plan G at LFKC at a zoom level of 15, looks ok to me. Also Plan G Information shows LOC CLI (109.5) for a Heading of 179 degrees, which a ICAO chart shows the same thing.

Now, regarding LIRF I think that airport has some big  problems within the Xplane data.  If you zoom into Plan G at a level of 14 and compare the airport layout with the xplane map I think you will see some trouble with missing runways. So I would assume that once someone fixes the airport itself and gets the runway data correct then Plan G will be ok. If you bring up xplane you are on grass, with approach lights on the grass. The same thing is indicated in Plan G, keeping in mind that Plan G airport outline shows the runway, but the ILS is pointing at where the runway should be if all was corrected within x plane.

How is this Fixed?  We as users can fix it if we are knowledgeable with WED 2.1 the editor.  We could report it as a huge bug and hope it gets fixed.
We can also fix it and then report with proper data to Robin Peel for inclusion in next Apt.dat update. The last method is the one the Xplane authors prefer.

I have been just this week trying to work with WED but it has a steep learning curve in my opinion, I am not doing very well.
The bottom line is I guess that if Plan-G receives an error, it will show an error.

Sorry I don't have any definitive help for you but all of the above is the way I see it.  Apologies for the ramble but it gets crazy while comparing all this stuff. :)  Hope others chime in here to possibly verify what I think I am seeing.

Regards,
Chuck

The problem are not only with those 2 airports but with all airport with ils.

Then where to look for?

Paul,

My mistake.  ILS data is in Earth_nav.dat.

My home airport (katw) shows the fan off also but at that zoom level I personally am not going to worry about it, too many variables.

Maybe Tim can speak to the Glide Slope terminology in your post.
