FC2 Nav Mode Freeze

(This is a cross post - I also posted this over in the ubi.com forum)

I'm really new to LockOn, I just got FC2 a couple of days ago and I'm learning to fly the A-10.

Flying one of the standard A-10 missions, the one where all you have to do is takeoff, follow the waypoints and then land, I keep running into a bug:

On approach to the airport, pressing '1' (nav mode) makes the ILS only appear on the ADI, not on the HUD. If I press '1' when I am very close to the runway, the game freezes. Same thing happens even if I land and press '1' when I am already in Nav mode. Switching to A2A or A2G mode doesn't cause any problems.

It only freezes if I press '1' when I am already in nav mode, and only when I'm in close proximity to a runway.

Any ideas?

I'm running FC2 v1.2.1

Thanks.

You are not the only one with the Nav ILS freeze game bug/problem

Scrambles,

I replicated exactly what you describe in FC 2 version 1.2.1. Flying the single mission in the A10a where you do the basic navigation of takeoff, flying 12 to 14 waypoints and landing at another airfield. I had no problems up until approach for landing where I hit the 1 key to bring up ILS while in Nav mode. At that point the game froze with sound still playing constant. I had to CTRL ALt Delete and go into Task Manager to close down FC2.

After a bit of searching it appears we are not the only ones to have this problem. Not sure if this is a bug in the sim or the missions that came with it. Here is the thread which describes the same problem:

Sadly I haven't been able to find any solution short of not using ILS on landing. :(

Just an update

I have not had a problem since in that training mission. ILS works but it is perhaps I do not hit the 1 nav key while overflying the airfield that you are to land at. Anyway I fly over the airfield to land, swing around over the sea for final approach and hit 1 to bring up ILS on both the HUD and the HSI. Happy days. :)
