Excellent, and Code7700 is so great I actually wanted to send a greeting tk the author the last week, just for appreciation. Hoping the rumors are not true.

I interpret half-scale to be 1 dot out of 2 on my ship.

However that cannot be pinpointed to RWY edge if the full LLZ beam 2.5 is 700 feet wide.

​​Noted. For a 60m wide runway it does come reasonably close to pavement edge at least.
