If airfield has Lorenz blind landing system installed, there is a international ILS icon visible on map with the runway heading. Alt info could be added there easily.

Last idea probably gets too complicated compared to the benefits it offers. Online air-quake warriors would still takeoff and land using taxiways.
Thanks for looking into this - I don't know what SH3 has, but any progress in this direction is certainly helpful. We're flying some lengthy missions that require precise navigation in our squadron, so rather than printing the maps and drawing on them physically it'd be great to have the plotted charts on screen and some more info on the airfields - that's the main thing. Anyway, good luck with your work and I'll be looking forward to 4.10!
