I accept no responsibility for any damage or loss of data incurred due to the installation of this scenery. The scenery has been thoroughly tested by experienced Flight Simulator users and shouldn’t cause any issues, but in today’s legal climate I have to state this for my own sake.

This update fixes an issue with the DME locations for both ILS's being incorrectly positioned. The DME's should both now read zero when over the threshold of their corresponding runway ends. Also added are TDZ lighting.

Installation: You should already have installed version 1.0 and version 1.1 update of my EGBB scenery for FSX. Make sure Flight Simulator is not running, then copy the included bgl file into the Scenery folder where you have installed my EGBB scenery, overwriting the existing file if prompted.

Credits: With thanks to Fernand Verbraecken for spotting the DME bug and Gerry Winskill, Tom Smith, Denis Ripley, Mike Brook and Frank Fisher for testing.
