Any reason why the ILS does not line up with many of the runways I have tried both Gatwick and Heathrow with the A320 and the ILS is slightly to the left so when I used the auto land on AP it landed just outside then boundary of the runway.

Aerofly is a bit funny with the ILS on autopilot, the wind ‘pushes’ the plane to one side! If you manually change the ILS course a couple of degrees in the desired direction the plane will adjust its track! This might not be allowed in some of the more advanced planes.

The ILS comes from a different database than the runway surface. We've now implemented a change that aligns the ILS with the runway which might be included in an update.

The yearly changes in the Earth's magnetic variation are not uniform over the Earth's surface, an adjustment in one place would need to be different elsewhere.

I had tried to add a comment about the age of the nav database and the magnetic norths of the nav database and the scenery possibly not matching but I must have not done it right?

The first thing our algorithm does is remove magnetic variation and internally only true course is used.

Which might be included in an update? I hope that you meant ‘Will’.
