Ils information on map wrong?

[Mosley]

So I decided I would work on my ils landings and for fun I would drop a few bombs on some tanks on the way to the airport. I bring up the mission editor and put 2 tanks out , make some waypoints to make it easier just in case i mess up the approach and fly it. My problem was I was landing at Kobuleti and the map (f10 and mission editor) showed the ils head at 255 degrees and the ils feather was on the east side of the airport lining up like it should, but as i intercept the localizer and turned it felt like it was backwards. Plus the glideslope didnt show up till i was fairly close. It felt all wrong, so ... go around and try again.. this time when went back around and landed i noticed the glideslope would have had me touch down on the wrong end of the runway ... so... bring out the maps... uh oh... 07 is the ils with a heading more around 065 than 255. So rework the mission so I am heading the right directions and preto works fine. So is the info on the ingame map wrong?? Am i reading it wrong?

There's some kind of misalignment with headings in the game that goes beyond and is more severe than simple magnetic variation.

Is that the reason on other airports even tho im lined up correctly ( i think ) that im to the right of the airport . Like i was landing in the field next to the airport .

Did you request inbound from ATC? They should get you on the correct side of runway, at least I never had this kind of incident in my very short, but indeed fruitful career of virtual pilot ;-)

no, i didnt include atc in any of my plans. It was just a quick test that i pulled the information off the map of the game and flew it. The other thing is the maps i printed out are correct, and the system's ingame work like they should according to the map's i printed, its just the ingame map that i use for quick reference seems wrong. Also just in case it helps, it was pretty much a straight in approach. init point, 2 tanks, runway , all pretty much in a straight line.

Agreed.

Also on tac view after the flight it always shows me landing off of the runway even though it was bang on during the flight. Is that because of the same issue?

Yes, the Kobuleti approach marking on the map are reversed. Will be corrected in the next patch.
