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 Tags Custom data ILS Private Airstrip

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