New ILS custom editor issue

Hello,

I am facing a new issue with custom ILS .

It is on a fresh new scenery with nothing imported or modified in the xml .

I have placed custom ILS and glyde slope with the edit button and with the gizmo (only with green and red axis)

Defaut ILS are deleted in airport settings (To Delete)

The Localizer shows the runway with a left decay ..

I don't understand what to do .

2 of my 4 sceneries who including custom ILS are working perfectely ( LFBD / LFBZ)

one don't work correctely for MSFS DVD version users but perfectely for the others (LFMT)

And the new one in build (LFKJ) have an issue from the start .

I added the exact same heading in ILS that in Runway.

All in SDK is respected and i am doing sceneries since many years so i know what to do and how to do add an ILS .

If someone can help with it it will be very nice.

Thanks a lot

I don't know if this will help, but ILS in MSFS uses magnetic heading, not true heading. This differs from FSX.

Hello,

Yes but it's always changing .

Few months ago it was requested to insert exact true heading of the runway to make custom ILS work.

Yes , now that magnetic heading was inserted it is working great .

I did it before the read of your answer and come to notifiy it but thanks a lot for your help !

Now it works !

Best regards
