I felt pretty comfortable with the new implementation. I noticed two little glitches: The has-gs property does not go to false if you switch from an ILS frequency to a VOR frequency. Probably something like has_gs_node->setBoolValue(false); is needed near line 802 in navradio.cxx.
And the glideslope indicator quickly (many times per second) moves between to-high and to-low indication when you are very close to the antenna below 50-100ft above threshold. I havn't investigated this in detail but these are probably the modeled side lobes which are naturally very close to each other so close to the station? I think this part needs some tuning, because I have never observed something like that in reality. I'll try to do some more testing during this weekend.
