@zwen Using the frequency switch is fine. Make sure to credit me.
@PlaneFlightX Thanks for the review! I see why you thought the GS is buggy because I chose to use 3 deg as the glide path. The diamond only moves between 2.6-3.4 degrees. It is pretty shallow for SP.
Yes, I find my trigonometry pretty different. I am still exploring all the methods. But for now, I will try to stick with
asin
rather thanatan
because the output is more manageable. I will want to use your frequency switch if you would agree. Thanks!I just got around to testing it,

It's very nice! And one part as well... Very useful for making detailed, low part count cockpits.
.
I found the glideslope code to be bugged, is this still in development?
.
Localizer code looks nice. I really like the inclusion of DME. I am going to do that on mine.
.
On further inspection of the variables, I can see yours is very different to mine. The way I did mine was of course trigonometry, but differently. I don't think I fully explained it in my SP let's plays, but my ILS post should help a bit.

I've tagged you on the latest version of the SWL-10 (unlisted, please don't share blablabla) so you can try that out and poke around in the variables. I recommend you explore the variables in a text editor or similar. The checklist on the left side of the captain's seat has all the instructions, I would provide labelled diagrams on the cockpit controls on the final post. Note the APP (Autopilot Approach Mode) isn't working yet, but I'm getting there. Use the button/switch tooltips in combination with the checklist to fly.
