Faulty glideslope - OMDB RWY 30L

Hi there,

I’m aware that this issue has been discussed here back in July 2024. This issue is still not fixed.

When doing an ILS approach into RWY 30L @ OMDB, the glideslope is faulty as it takes you over the Threshold @ 100ft.

I had contacted inibuilds and they mentioned that Aircraft that use navigraph navdata will override their custom ILS. I then contacted Fenix since i mostly use Fenix and reported this issue and Fenix asked me to check if this issue occurs in other aircrafts as well so i tested with PMDG 737-800 and yes, the issue was present their as well. I reported this to Fenix and they said that it seems to be be a navigraph navdata issue rather than Fenix issue.

This issue is quite fraustrating as it ruins the immersion, realism & fun while landing at one of the worlds busiest airport. Is this issue still being worked on? Is their any fix that we can expect? Its been a very long time since this issue was first reported and its disapointing to not see it fixed till now.

Hi,
I have tested the ILS 30R at OMDB with the stock scenery and the FBW A320 (the latest stable version) and AIRAC 2501 installed and I can´t reproduce it.

Here, over the threshold:

You see, at the threshold, we have 50 feet (TCH is exactly 53 feet). So, it´s absolutely correct.

I´m sorry, but it´s not really reproducible.

Cheers,
Richard

Hi,

Thanks for doing the test and replying to my post. Even though you did the test on 30R instead of 30L, I still went ahead and removed the inibuilds OMDB and did the same test on default OMDB 30L with Fenix A320 and as you mentioned in your post, I was also not able to recreate the issue using the default OMDB. This issue only occurs when I have iniBuilds OMDB installed.

So after talking to all 3 parties (iniBuilds, Fenix & Navigraph) - It’s quite obvious now that it’s inibuild’s OMDB causing this issue.

I’m not a scenery expert but i think the runway is wrongly placed on the iniBuilds scenery. It probably needs to be a little forward in order to match the glideslope TCH for ILS landing.

Thanks again!
