DME bias

Post by manicpuffin »

Hi. Does P3D now support dme bias? If not, how do I modify a DME's position to show zero at runway threshold.

Hi manic
DME is not calibrated on the runway threshold but on the touchdown point (origin of the glide slop).
The touchdown ILS point is the same point as VASI/PAPI system.
Using ADE, open an afcad with ILS to see that.
