  1. Hey, it's not the hard way it's another way. 

    It's very simple infact:

    I know thw planes height
    I know thw runway height
    I know the glideslope degrees
    And when I also know the correct distance is it very simple

    Example:

    at 1000 feet with a glideslope of 5.50 degrees the distance = 1.709 Nm.
    at 1000 feet with a glideslope of 3.00 degrees the distance = 3.140 Nm.

    So when the plane is on the glideslope at 500 feet and the Glislope is 3.00 degrees distance is then 1.570 Nm.

    When on the glideslope at touchdown the distance is 0 Nm.

    In the graphical is the end of the glidesope 0 Nm. I must know this point and that is the offset we talk about.

    My question was is the offset wrong or I'm wrong.
    Have you test it on your Machine?

    When I know for sure the offset is not wrong I must do more investigation.
    When the offset is wrong I must live with that.

  2. I check the distance from the plane for an ILS aproach with a glideslope in a graphical chart, when the distance is wrong then the plane is of the glideslope, i have made a work around but this is not 100% proof.

    So I imust have the lat/lon/alt from the localizer not the VOR , the alt is always good

    see this video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=39&v=lDk3JpNb5mw&feature=emb_logo

    Ofcourse in this video is all working well.

  3.  

    the offset 0874 gives always the VOR  and the
    offset 0C4D gives bit 7 set

  4. Default scnenery 
    Default Cessna 172
    No NAVAID updates
    Airport EDDK

     

    Look at the end of the log, where it goes wrong. 
    Reads the latitude and longitude ok and then:

     1021713 Monitor IPC:085C (S32) = 5652010

    the number now is: 5652010 must be 5652883

  5. Hello Pete,

    Thank you for helping me.

    I see nothing weird in the log


    Tested on EDDK RW 25 freq: 109.100
    swap freq: 111.100
    Output in FS windows gives:

    I started with no Ils and no VOR gives 0 (111.100)
    First swap was wrong gives number 5652010 the same as the VOR
    2e gives 0 is ok
    3e gives 5652883 is ok
    4e gives 0 is ok
    5e gives 5652010 and is wrong

    For FSX is this no problem the ILS is working fine

  6. Hello,

    I noticed that offset 085C has strange behavior

    The manual says:

    VOR1 Latitude in FS form. Convert to degrees by Ok-SimC N/A
    *90/10001750. If NAV1 is tuned to an ILS this gives the
    glideslope transmitter Latitude.

    But sometimes it reads the VOR1 latitude not the NAV1 latitude When there's an ILS
    Same problem with the longitude, offset 0864

    I checked with the FSUIPC logging in a window, when a few times I swap the frequency, it gives the wrong result, it's very inpredictable.

    So in my program it reads about I guess 20% wrong.

    Have someone  a solution?

    Evan
