[Flightgear-devel] Localizer alignment

[Curtis L. Olson]

I have written some code that at initialization time will snap all 
localizers into perfect alignment with their runways.  It's my 
experience that the DAFIF/FAA data reports runway and localizer headings 
to a level of precision that is perfect for making charts, or adjusting 
your OBS, etc.  But the level of precision of this data can be far 
enough off to make you visibly *un*aligned with the runway when the CDI 
needle is centered.

There are probably cases where the localizer isn't really perfectly 
aligned with the runway, or intentionally misaligned to avoid obstacles 
or terrain.  So I have made this configurable for those that trust the 
data more than I do.  Just set "/sim/navdb/auto-align-localizers" to 
true/false in the preferences file to turn this feature on or off in the 
code.

Regards,
Curt.
