I just thought of something. You said your at Heathrow right? Are you
using the default scenery or an add-on??
Sometimes you need another Afcad file for it. I will list an example:
I just downloaded the LGA scenery and its truly a great piece of work. I
started to use it without any problems, except when coming in on approach
for Runway 4, everytime I would catch the Glide Slope, I would turn out at
an odd angle. (It came with an Afcad file to make all runways active) I
started to look for another Afcad file and after working about 3 others I
finally found one that works. Seems the new scenery had a problem with the
signal and needed an afcad file to straighten out the approach and also to
make all runways active. BTW, this was in FS9.
At first I thought it was me, then the plane, then the panel and I had to
check out the gauges in case I had something wrong. Turns out it was the
Afcad file.
