Reported at EGPF but seems to be an issue at all ILS-DME installations in X Plane 11 I've looked at.

The DME for an ILS is usually set to read 0 at the runway threshold. This was the case in X-Plane 10.

However in X-Plane 11 the DME seems to read 0 at the runway centrepoint where the same frequency is shared at both ends of the runway, or at the touchdown point where a unique frequency is used for each end.

In the first case (same frequency both ends) it makes X-Plane 11 useless for practising LOC-DME approaches as the distances on charts are not correct for the sim.

Using the option to disable downwind ILS does not improve the situation.
