TORONTO CITY CENTRE AIRPORT - ILS ISSUES

Has anyone encountered issues with the ILS for RWY 08 at Toronto's Island Airport? I have tried multiple techniques, using NAV alone; using GPS to line up correctly then switching to NAV and APR hold etc. Nothing seems to work. Tried it in several aircraft (most recently a DASH-8😎.

Could someone please give it a try and let me know if they encounter problems too?

Thank you!

The ILS using APR on freq 110.15 worked fine, except it puts you slightly to the right of the runway. Drop the AP and steer the last bit, worked fine in my default 737-800

Thanks Enko. I will give that a try.

I will check the ils settings on the airport when I finish work today and will modify to line it up.

That will be awesome Enko!

A rough patch, I will finalise after work, but this will line you up with the runway.

goto scenery 302 and change APX26160.bgl to APX26160.bgl.hold to keep the original

Paste CYTZ_ADEX_jono.bgl into addon scenery/scenery to test

I think it is an improvement but if you leave it on APR you can see that it still pulls to the right. The images are a 737-800.

Sorry for the delayed response Enko (chemo and more bad news got in the way).

Thanks for everything you are doing man!

So I did a lot of testing and here is the preliminary info:
- I have a CYTZ add on scenery that updates the airport and more importantly the layout of the buildings in the downtown core (even adding in some new ones).

So I did 3 tests (notes & video below):

========== TEST 1 =========

1) Scenery 302 changed APX26160.bgl to APX26160.bgl.hold
2) Added CYTZ_ADEX_jono.bgl into addon scenery/scenery
3) Addon CYTZ Scenery - DESELECTED

RESULTS
Positive - Worked absolutely perfectly - all scenery was default for CYTZ
Negative - All other TORONTO airports disappeared. Not even selectable.

========== TEST 2 ==========

1) Scenery 302 change NOT DONE!
2) Added CYTZ_ADEX_jono.bgl into addon scenery/scenery
3) Addon CYTZ Scenery - DESELECTED

RESULTS
Positive - Worked absolutely perfectly - all AIRPORTS are back!
Negative - Missing all the scenery corrections made by the addons.

========== TEST 3 ==========

1) Scenery 302 change NOT DONE!
2) Added CYTZ_ADEX_jono.bgl into addon scenery/scenery
3) Addon CYTZ Scenery - ENABLED

RESULTS
Positive - Correct scenery for TOR + all AIRPORTS.
Negative - Back to the RIGHT side pull.

========== VIDEO ==========

And here is a video showing the 3 landings (please ignore the horrible landings - I was focused totally on the approach). Also had to do it with "clear skys" so as to eliminate any crosswind factor.

Is there any possibility of modifying the add-on BGLs themselves?

Thanks again!

what addon scenery are you using btw, I don't have a lot added to my rig nowadays, but I do own a whole bunch of it lol

Did you ever get to the bottom of this buddy?

Shout me if not.

Yes I did actually get it sorted out by using a "hybrid" mix of BGLs. One that gave me the updated Toronto scenery and then a BGL that ENKO created. Now the ILS approach is perfect!

Pleased to hear it buddy. All the best.
