Hey, I've been having a problem with my PMDG 747 for a while now. When I am using autoland, the plane will consistently fly the approach and landing EXACTLY one dot to the left of localizer EVERY time, without fail. It's very frustrating, and my LDS763 has no problems, so I don't really know what the problem is..

Help??

Thanks!!

I don't suppose you're flying an offset ILS are you?

Do you update the AIRAC cycles?....maybe the problem is there?

Get the registry cleaner from Flight 1 and run that, I've had your problem with PMDG
and that fixes it. That is unless its a single airport where it happens, there are some
broken afcad's out there too. But if you have the ILS consistently off to one
direction run the cleaner.

No, not an offset ILS, and yes, Ive updated the AIRAC data.

And, I am extremely pleased to announce that Jack, you are the man. It worked.

Yes, now I can continue my DVA career in the PMDG 747 bug-free =]

Thanks Jack!!

Glad to hear that you fixed the problem. I will use this technique to fix similar issue I get in some airports.
