Does anyone have an ILS problem for KMCF(Macdill AFB, Tampa, FL)...It guides me way off track.... 😕

Answered

I am not familiar with that approach. Do you have the correct frequency? How far are you engaging the Approach beacon? Are you on ILS , GPS, approach? Is you flight path too high? What type of aircraft? I approaced KIAD from KORF. I had some chop at 1700 feet for a couple of miles but smoothed out some. When ATC told me to call in local I called in from NAV1 on a heading of 220. I then was picking up the NAV beacon. Then at 10 miles more or less I could do an A/P Approach in a Baron 350 turbo prop. I do fly the 737-400 my favorite but the Baron allows for more mistakes a slower speeds and less weight to fight.

Sorry for all the questions but I had to know.

There are quite a few airports where the ILS system is screwy un FS. My local airport KMKE, only one ILS is correct, one sets you up about 20feet to the right of the runway, perfect for the taxiway, the other sends you in circles. Good stuff.

Well your right Solotwo. For KMKE for example the 7R ILS is the only one that works properly. The ILS for 1L and 19R sets you to the west of the runway. Just a MSFS error.
