The localizer and glideslope for the ILS 19L at KICT is inop. The ILS frequency is correctly identified by the G1000, but no localizer or glideslope signal is detected.
With 11.35r3 Wichita Urban area downtown now just contains suburban housed. Before 11.35 Wichita downtown was depicted fairly well with reasonable tall and industrial building and stores. Haven't look yet at other mid-sized cities. Has algorithm for depicting towns and city areas changed? HeadwindH
Sorry, in

Done
I commented that Wichita, Kansas urban area shows on suburban houses and no tall buildings in 11.35r3 when I meant 11.35r1. I re-loaded 11.30 and it does not show tall buildings in downtown Wichita either. I don't have any older versions of XP11. Version 10.51 shows a nice depictions of tall buildings in downtown Wichita. Is there a reason XP11 shows a town of nearly 500,000 people as almost all suburban neighborhood when XP10 does a nice job? HeadwindH
11.36r1 and 11.36r2 (and 11.34) Downtown Wichita, KS (main airport KICT) now shows as all suburban houses with only a few high rise apartment buildings. The are NO high rise office type building ANYWHERE in the area. Earlier versions used to show a reasonable depiction of the downtown areas.
The height and size of buildings in XPlane is determined from OSM data - and where absent, with an algorithm just estimating them based on landclass and street density (basically trying to figure out where “downtown” is). Therefore the building height may be correct in one area, but completely off in another. Hopefully the next XPlane version will have more accurate information avaiblable to determine building size/height.
Could somebody add some metadata for this airport as it should be easily available such as proper ICAO and IATA codes , city etc

Julian, you kindly locked this for me so that I could finish it over a year ago. While I am not quite finished, it might be a good idea to unlock it so that I don't hold somebody else up. I tried direct messaging, but that doesn't seem to be getting to you. Thanks.
