About A Weird ILS Approach

So here's one for someone out there that I would be interested in what you think. I have been doing a flight from KJFK (any runway) To KLGA runway 13. No matter what plane I do it in when I do a full NAV/ILS approach at KLGA runway 13 it puts me at about a 5% angle to the right of the runway. If I don't correct by hand at least a mile out it will be a missed approach. Actually I crash into a bunch of buildings. Now...when I do the same approach/same runway 13 and do GPS only...the plane goes straight down the runway. The only difference is the GPS approach I have to control the glide slope by hand but that's okay with me. Sometimes it's better to keep up on controlling the plane by hand. I still have not mastered speed/altitude and compass positioning on approach and it's been 6 months easy. I fly everyday. The first two months about 4 to 6 hours a day. Yes I am semi retired. So in my mind I think this ILS approach to KLGA runway 13 being off is a programming glitch. I have Steam FSX. Any thoughts out there? Thanks.

I have noticed the same thing. I have FSX Deluxe/Acceleration, but not the Steam edition. My thoughts are the same as yours...programming error.

Have you used AFX to look into the schematics of the airport and ILS. with AFX you can edit the ILD glidslope and perhaps the angle of the runway for the ILS. for example you maybe be able to offset the angle that the ILS is off in editing of the ILS and correct the offset path. Or even delete the current ILS and create a new one. This seems to be a programming error and needs to be re-adjusted.
