I agree with the above but I was merely asking which airfields it should work on as I could not get it to work at beverley or wickenby yesterday despite me moving the hsi to the main screen.

Does it just work of you are landing on a certain runway if you line up on the centre line of one? We were in excellent vmc of course.

It works where we have precise coordinates and elevation data for a runway's thresholds. You can determine whether this is the case by performing a pretend approach in the simulator, and ascertaining whether the ILS mode kicks in.

Is it possible to turn off 500' AGL ILS shut-down ?

Why would you want to do that on a VFR application?

 I have extremely accurate external RTK GNSS receiver and I want to practice ILS-like approaches, because I don't have any instrument approaches near my area (don't worry, I do them only in VMC). Why not just make it optional in settings ?

I believe that there are legal liability issues if the pseudo ILS does not cut off below 500ft

I still would like to see an option to turn it OFF. You can make a warning/disclaimer message with "I agree" checkbox nearby.

If you are an Android user, download yourself a copy of GPS-ILS. This will allow you to create an ILS to any point in space, at any altitude.

Much safer than doing pseudo instrument flying into VFR airfields, and you can practice in real IMC as well, with no terrain issues nor sleepless nights for Tim.

Yes, that isn't something we would allow in SkyDemon.
