Classic British Flight Sim

Shalom and greetings all my pals,

I flew for first time from GMMX to Aerosoft Gibraltar International Airport X. When I checked GPS to select runway approach, I was surprised that FSX default GPS's runway approach selection did not offer runways. Is it correct?

I am using FSX Deluxe with SP1 and SP2 in Windows 7 Professional operating system.

I don't think it has ILS Aharon.. only TACAN.

Yeah but when any airport does not have ILS, the GPS always shows runway numbers and offer green slopes to make it easy for pilots to approach and land. So far I do not see single runway info and no green slopes. Is that normal or is it software error?

Each airport in FSX has what's called an Afcad file associated with it This file determines the navigation detail of that particular airport. In the real world Gibraltar, as Dave says has no ILS so it would be silly for the software designers to include ILS (the green arrows shown on the gps) where none existed As after all its supposed to be "as real as it gets" I would guess Aerosoft would not include ILS in its afcad (which replaces the default fsx one ) for the same reason

Dale,

Thanks for more explanations! That makes my runway approaches to runway 09 very hard!!

That's one reason why you don't fly there as Captain without at least one training flight as mentioned in the Trident thread.

At least I managed to land during second try
