Do not submit new ILS data anymore - this practice is discontinued as of 11.50.
Official ILS data is now accurate enough to use it with accurately enough placed airports.
Cheers, Jan

Hi Jan,
I've seen a couple of airports where the ILS is just off. FOOL, UTAK,... to name a few.
If we no longer provide ILS we will be landing on taxiways again.
Is this an official position from Laminar?
Thanks for your feedback.

Hi pedro,
yes, it is the official position of Laminar. You can read it here:
https://developer.x-plane.com/article/navdata-in-x-plane-11/
Scroll down to the section “hand placed localizers”.
They have so far 5 airports worldwide where the official data for the localizers is so obviously wrong that they need to supply “corrected” data in XPlane.
It could be that the airports that you saw this at could also have “incorrect” official data for localizers - but it could also be that the airports where not placed correctly. It is important to really ascertain what is correct and what is wrong - before simply moving the localizers so that they fit 😉
Cheers, Jan

I see, thanks for the update. The airports I mentioned are in the correct position (as far as the satellite images show), so I'm unsure what to do now.
In the article you mentioned, they also state that if they find more airports with sub-par data they would consider adding custom data.
Perhaps this will be a case by case evaluation.
Cheers.

Hi,
I would try to post a thread about this at the .org, here:
https://forums.x-plane.org/index.php?/forums/forum/413-scenery-gateway/
Write which airports you think have inaccurate ILS data, then we can check if we see the same and if it is confirmed (even after using latest Navigraph or Aerosoft data) we can decide if we need to file a bug report to adjust the ILS data for these airports manually.
Cheers, Jan

Great,
I'll do that. Thanks again Jan.
Cheers.

The data is already correct with current cycle
