Hi Everyone,
I was flying an FSEconomy mission on PE a bit ago. I was supposed to land KNTD. The weather was at minimums for the airport and I was cleared for the ILS. The ILS came alive late and I overshot. I rechecked everything (freq, OBS, etc.) was vectored again and missed the localizer a second time. Due to the weather at minimums, I diverted to KVNY. When I landed, I checked the xplane map and saw the ILS for Point Magu was not aligned properly with the airport. Does anyone know how to fix this and/or see the same issue?
(Ps- the Lance has a landing gear issue so we're flying commercial for vacation in the morning. Bummer...)

Look for the following line in the earth_nav file (located in Resources -> default data):
4 34.10608000 -119.13720000 1 10930 18 227.463 IRRG KNTD 21 ILS-cat-I
This entry indicates that the IRRG localizer is aligned at 227.463 degrees (true).
