Yesterday, I was flying a simulated BC approach to exactly the same runway -- CYOW rwy 25 -- and I couldn't find it and ended up overshooting. That's good practice in itself, but I was still pissed off that I couldn't find it. Your posting reminded me why. > Is that a known fact (or do I need a refresher in instrument > flying)? :) You're right and FlightGear is wrong. First, Robin Peel's database omitted the localizer for 25. I had started to rough it in a long time ago but never finished. As a result, I'm amazed that you were able to do any ILS approach at all to 7/25. That's my mess, and I've fixed it by checking in a new default.ils.gz (I still need to clean up the other ILS). The rest of the mess is FlightGear's. There are a few large airports that use paired ILS transmitters on the same frequency: someone added some code a few months ago to support those few runways and broke hundreds or thousands of regular BC approaches. I had understood that the problem was fixed and had forgotten about it, but your posting reminded me. I can confirm that the problem is still there, and I will look into it.
