yes, looks good.
I'd suggest you give the devel list a try and see if people have a strong opinion/preference regarding a native code based solution.
If you should however find that development resources are scarce or that people are hesitant to help with this, let me know, and I'll help you come up with a scripting space workaround that should work well enough in the meantime (probably exploiting the AI system to force the tile manager to load the corresponding tile).
But again, if you can get any core developer support to get a proper fix, that's definitely much better than working around such issues using a handful of hacks.
PS: Regarding the configuration UI, I believe that the original GCA addon was using a procedurally-created Canvas dialog that was driven by a corresponding hash, which included support for glideslope angle etc ? By the way, are you taking airport/runway-specific information into account when computing the approach profile (TDZE) ?
