Hi 
I wonder if you can help me, I am trying to set up a private airstrip in the custom data of SkyDemon. Its two runways that I have copied the coordinates from google maps and pasted them into the runways editor under position for each end of the runway. I have also calculated the displacement threshold for each end but the ILS function is not working out very accurately . Does the ILS work from the calculated coordinates of the runway or the identifier. I need to do some tweaking but not sure which figures to adjust.
Kind regards
Brinsley

That would be my assumption without having any of the actual data to hand.

Why not take a GPS to the threshold and have it sit there for a couple of minutes. You should gete a pretty good average position which will match what your GPS in the plane is getting. Ditch Google Maps for that and do it in the real world.

P.S.: I am sure there are apps available which let you average a position over time and display it on a map.
