Hi Eric, I agree that for now option 1 is the best. If there will be any interest in the future for a more detailed simulation, I will consider #3. Right now, I will use a generic directional antenna pattern for ILS systems, obtained with a 4nec2 generated plot for a yagi antenna. This plot could be replaced easily if the same file format is kept. I'm also willing to consider different file formats for antenna plots, as long as they are not obfuscated, if you or anyone else knows a better tool for electrical antenna analysis that I'm not yet familiar with. I'm not yet sure what to use for aircraft antennas, so I'll leave them omnidirectional for now.
