helix1250 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Good day everyone, I am hoping that someone can help me, I fly a lot in the UK and I have just realised that the approach for Rwy 15 at EGBB is not correct, I noticed that the ILS reads 149 degrees, this is not right as it is on 147 Degrees. I have updated to the latest AIRAC 1601 and the listing is still the same, I have checked with other sources NATS, my Navigraph Charts and they all say it should be 147 Degrees. Can anyone tell me how to correct this on EFB please. Regards Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Hi Rob, EFB is reading the information from the BGL file, not from the AIRAC data. That's the reason why it still reads the outdated value for the localizer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helix1250 Posted January 28, 2016 Author Share Posted January 28, 2016 So is it best for me to use the BGL ILS frequency when landing or the AIRAC thats being used? I should also have said that I am using the UK2000 EGBB extreme V3 scenery if this makes a difference? I have also disabled a EGBB.BGL in mytraffic 6, this made no difference. I have just sat on the runway and it is aligned to 147 degrees and the ILS reads right as well, do you think this just a typo in the .BGL file? maybe?

ScottecLEMD Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Rob Try this. http://www.aero.sors.fr/navaids3.html, there is an updated there for most of the European navaids. Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helix1250 Posted January 29, 2016 Author Share Posted January 29, 2016 Thanks ScottecLEMD, I have tried that but sadly it hasn't changed the 149 dregrees shown. I have contacted UK2000 and they say this is beyond there ability to alter for there EGBB scenery. So I guess I'm stuck with it being incorrect Regards Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScottecLEMD Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Rob On the same website there is a Navaid editor tool, you might want to try that, but at your own risk . UK2000 usually use the underlying default .bgls for the navaids. Regards Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helix1250 Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 Hi Ken Thanks for telling me about the Navaid editor, not sure I'm brave enough for that lol. It's all very odd, If UK2000 use the default .bgls I wonder after updating the navaids why it didn't alter the reading in EFB. I know FSX picked up that there was a scenery change as it did a update scan, I also ran the scenery for EFB as well just to be sure. All very odd, I can't think I did anything wrong with the navaid update, it's straight forward with tick the ones you want and install. Rob Update, I have emailed the person who does the Naviaid updates, he has confirmed his latest update and prior ones show correct magnetic heading for EGBB.

helix1250 Posted January 30, 2016 Author Share Posted January 30, 2016 With the help of the guy at Naviad we have checked the .bgl files for both the standard FSX-SE and the ones that form part of the UK2000 scenery. All of which show the correct true heading of the runway and airfield, so I'm assuming that EFB might be doing something odd with its interpertation of this information Regards Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
helix1250 Posted February 2, 2016 Author Share Posted February 2, 2016 I have checked with others in my VA and they are seeing the same issues, some runways are 1-2 degrees out. It would be interesting to see if others are seeing the same issue. What do you see for the following? EGKK 26L EGBB 15 LFMN 04L I'm just curious really Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
