The problem some users had before was most often that MrSmith had no idea there was a runway there at all when the pilot descended through 500 feet in landing mode. No runway was announced. It was not a misunderstanding about which runway - there was no runway at all in MrSmith's digital mind and this is the problem we sought to fix with this update. Feedback suggests that we have fixed it.

MrSmith most likely thought that you were pointed at 11L when you descended through 500 feet. Could that be the case?

Also - it is best to regenerate your runway data with this update. Did you get a chance to do that?
