Thanks for looking  Smiley

Out of interest, from real world approach plates I've seen TNCM doesn't have an ILS, does anybody know why not?

Is it because of the proximity to the beach that you couldn't fit an ILS array in or do they just not feel the need for one?
Seems like quite a busy airport to not have one.

Cool shots, Dave.......I don't know why the real world airport doesn't have an ILS, but it would be easy to add one in FSX using ADE9 or something similiar Smiley
 

"Oh! I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth and danced the skies on laughter silvered wings. Sunward I've climbed and joined the tumbling mirth of sun split clouds.....and done a hundred things you have never dreamed of.....wheeled and soared and swung high in the sunlit silence. Hovering there, I've chased the shouting wind along and flung my eager craft through footless halls of air.

Up, up the long, delerious, burning blue I've topped the wind swept heights with easy grace where never Lark, nor even Eagle flew. While with silent lifting of mind I've trod the high untrespassed sanctity of space, put out my hand and touched the face of god"

I'm happy without one it makes the approach more hands on, I've just not heard of many international airports that don't have them.
