Hello,
I am writing some procedures for AIRAC format of PMDG, specificaly IGS approach for Sion LSGS. I use the scenery from FlyLogic.
I have found that this scenery only gives me G/S signal about a mile past FAF, thereby effectively negating the possibility to fly the approach by instruments - at least that is the case in PMDG NGX.
Since I was already playing with navaids in the AFX file to correct old frequency and to reposition DME, I tried to increase the range of "ILS" installation, however, ADE will not let me put any more than already preset 30nm.
Is this a compiler limit? Is it possible to circumvent?
Also, in Sion, the GP antenna is positioned in significant distance from the runway, in fact, over 3 km. The elevation is only marginally different (tens of feet), but I would ask anyway - I suppose FS will calculate beam from defined airport elevation, is this true? Could it have any effect on range, or in terrain clearance? I did find myself uncomfortably close to the mountains on said approach, after hitting the G/S, even though terrain separation might be guaranteed.
Thank you for any insights.
Peter
