According to the map, runway 22 ILS IN KEDW (Edwards AFB) has a heading of 224º, but in reality its closer to 225º . I think this is because the true heading of the ILS is something like 224.8º, but the maps doesn't show decimals (something that X-Plane did, one of the few good things it had).

Seriously, i've been looking around for some way to solve all these problems, but i can't find nothing anywhere!! X-Plane just sucks, so the only non-combat flight sim left is FSX, but this problem with the VORs and the ILSs is screwing it deep. PLEASE, HELP!

One degree might not look a big difference, but with fog and crosswind (why oh why my airplane always ends to the left of the centerline even if there's no crosswinds!?!?) that degree can be de difference between landing and becoming a crater next to the runway...
