Hmmm, that's really weird, as I have the US version.
However, of course it's no showstopper, looks like I have to wait for the SDK and wait for the correction then.

Did you notice the same problem with the Demo? I got one user reporting that he gets the alt ILS in the Demo, but not in the full version... thats desipite the file responsible for that (rwy.bgl) being 100% the same in both.
AFCAD2 is now in beta testing, I can't tell how long it will take before Lee releases a first version, but it looks like it will be within this month. I'm hoping that this initial release will somehow take care of several problems incl the ils.

LOL, that's even more weird indeed. I hadn't used the demo before, so I uninstalled the full version and installed the demo. Alt ILS all there.
Then I uninstalled demo and installed full version again. No more Alt ILS, gone again. Also installing full version over demo without unstalling first did not change that, but that is probably not a big surprise.

Weird indeed. The file that makes all the difference is called
flytampa-miami/scenery/rwy.bgl
You also have a file called rwy.normal which is a renamed rwy.bgl for use with FS2002 (normal ILS freq that don't work in 04).
After installing both the demo and full version several times on the same computer I can confirm that there is indeed a problem that seems to be mysteriously related to the installer program.
What happened is this: Installing the full version 5 times resulted in a "good" result (the right rwy.bgl being copies) 3 times, the wrong version got installed 2 times. I still have to do some test to see what is going on exactly.
For everyone having this problem with the ILS there are 2 solutions.
1. Easy: Download the attached file rwy.bgl to flytampa-miami/scenery/ overwriting the file that you have there.
2. Reinstall the full version of the scenery over the same location you already have it (with and/or without deleting the old install first). It seems like sometimes it works while sometimes it doesn't, and it isn't related to what options you choose in the installer program.
