Thanks Connor - interestingly they didn't tell us that when they communicated other changes to AIDU...

very interesting, having flown real world PAR's at RAF Shawbury many years ago during instrument training  will probably give it a go sometime and see how the  Euroscope version handles it. I know it takes a lot of practice for pilots to get used to flying on glide path  profiles etc without reference to any instruments and depending on the controller to 'talk you down 'to the runway threshold. Originally called GCA approaches and the controller sat in a little cabin alongside the runway to talk the pilots down!,

Brilliant Jim, unfortunately my RW experience is limited to being stood/sat a few miles up the road at Lossie watching and listening as they're being carried out.

The app doesn't actually run in ES, it's a separate .exe that you run (without install) that returns positional data far quicker than ED's 5 second refresh rate (not good if you're hurtling down the glidepath at 180kts!).  The guide in the Downloads section has more information on this but feel free to grab me if you need anything when you've got your Mil APP and PAR validations and go to give it a bash.  Happy to provide the aircraft for you also...
