LtMacGowan Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 I went into the DED, set up TACAN and ILS. The DED reported ILS ON, I triple checked the ILS Freq and it was correct. I flew to the runway via TACAN and switched to the other mode on the HSI, it never picked up the ILS, that red bar remained on, and i had dashed vertical and horizontal lines on the hud, I switched runways and changed the TACAN and ILS Info triple checking again to make sure they were correct and that DED still said ILS ON, again nothing, I flew directly over the runway several times and the ILS never picked up. I tried a 3rd runway and again the same.
Emmy Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Have to turn up the ILS Volume Knob. If it’s muted, the system won’t work. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] http://www.476vfightergroup.com/content.php High Quality Aviation Photography For Personal Enjoyment And Editorial Use. www.crosswindimages.com
Bouli306 Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 Did you enter the freq of the ILS and set the course in the DED?
Ramsay Posted September 5, 2020 Posted September 5, 2020 (edited) How do I ise F-16 ILS ? - I went into the DED, set up TACAN and ILS. The DED reported ILS ON, I triple checked the ILS Freq and it was correct. For which map, airfield and runway ? (Persian Gulf is a mess in 2.5.6 with many ILS wrong/not working, Nevada less so) What were the wind conditions ? (as there can be a de-sync between ATC and the active ILS runway for moderate winds i.e. 1-6 knot) Which RWY did ATC direct you to use, is it equipped with ILS? (DCS's AI will only turn on ILS for the active runway) As there are problems with some maps and/or wind directions, can you share the mission, though a short track (an air spawn near/on approach) would be better as it'll allow us to check your procedure/switch settings.

Delareon Posted September 6, 2020 Posted September 6, 2020 - Set up your Frequencies (TACAN and ILS - Set up your Heading in the same DED Page - Turn On Tacan (right hand side, next to the Knob where you change between Stored Heading and so on) - Check if ILS and TACAN Sound is turned on (Knobs next to the Throttle) - Turn HSI in ILS/Tacan Or ILS/Nav Mode. (both workis. No ATC needed, ILS is always on. I would suggest testing it in Batumi. Its one of the Basic Airports and i can guarantee you that the ILS on RWY 12 works. (Set Course 119)
Doum76 Posted September 7, 2020 Posted September 7, 2020 (edited) Have to turn up the ILS Volume Knob. If it’s muted, the system won’t work. I presume, as he said it's ON on his DED, more likely his volume is ok, i think he might be using Persian Gulf map, as the time i tried was on that map and i never got to make it work there, and i also did all was supposed to do, the ILS needles in the stand by ADI says sorta cage and on the HUD nothing happens even when flying over, so distance or whatever like others said, might not be the problem. I'll have to try on Caucasus as i setup my mission on there, haven'T used that map for a long time. EDIT: I tried all i was doing on PG map, but in Caucasus at Batumi and all worked. As Ramsay said, PG might have issues. I'm having the feeling it's OP's issues as well, as from his post, he seems to know what he's doing. Edited September 7, 2020 by Doum76
Doum76 Posted September 8, 2020 Posted September 8, 2020 Al Minhad AB works as well on Persian Gulf. You made me doupt and i tried again, and you'Re half right on my side, ILS for 110.70 for rny 09 doesn'T work, as it's always this one i always tried since i always come in from the sea, but the other side, 110.75 rny 27 does work, which i never tried before.
