I mean you get the glideslope warning because, as you approach the runway and you can clearly see that the glideslope is bringing you in incorrectly, as it does a significant amount of the time, and you correct to what looks correct visually to you, you will no longer be centred on the diamond and so the glideslope warning begins.

The problem is simply that in many many airports either the papis, or glide, or both give incorrect indications.
It’s not specifically about the approach used as an example, but you have to chose one example, I can’t upload a video of every single approach in MSFS ha.
Yes, but there are many r/w airports where the PAPI and G/S are not aligned together. If landing in instrument conditions, you would use the G/S, and if landing in visual conditions, you would use the PAPI. This is not the case at KLAX 24R however. At least the r/w approach chart carries no notice that the visual and ILS glideslopes are not coincident.
The topic of KLAX 24R came up a couple of years ago, and I flew it at that time and the ILS took me right to the touchdown zone in the default Cessna 172. I don’t remember if the PAPI was right or wrong. That was the default KLAX. I now have the IniBuilds version.
In any case, I’m confident that the glideslopes at all US default airports are correctly placed per official FAA data, but as I mentioned in my previous post, there are any number of reasons why they might not work in MSFS due to other airport scenery issues.

No. The last time I brought something to their attention they were rude and of course had the attitude that PMDG can do no wrong. I’m not contacting them again. But thanks.
