cobrabase Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 I've got visual landing in the Flanker down to a science so I thought it would be time to tackle some bad weather landing using the ILS. I set the weather conditions perfect and select a crimean airbase to land at. I line up the IP on the MFD and the tower comes over the radio that I'm clear for a VISUAL approach. LOL! Yeah right! I picked a large airbase that I KNOW has an ILS. I can see the ILS cross on the HSI but nothing comes up on the HUD. Is there a toggle switch? I tried hitting the 1 key but it simply clears the MFD and resets the navigation submode to Pilot. What am I doing wrong? I am flying Flaming Cliffs 1.12A. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
GGTharos Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Read the manual involving ILS aproaches ... that's what you missed :D [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
cobrabase Posted June 10, 2008 Author Posted June 10, 2008 Okay... here is what the manual says: "In the RETURN sub-mode, the sighting mark shows the glide slope intercept point. The shortest line to the glide slope point will be indicated on HDD. Manual switching between airfields is performed by pressing the [~] key. After reaching the glide slope intercept point, the RETURN sub-mode will automatically switch to the LANDING sub-mode and the Tower will provide landing instructions." So when the submode switches to landing submode automatically the HUD should show the ILS cross right? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Vekkinho Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Set your HUD to RTN or (russian BO3) mode and you'll do fine! I don't use HUD for landing in bad weather, all U need is in HSI. Try setting a HUD failure in failures tab of ME, practice some instrument landing for bad weather approach or in case your HUD fails, just like real pilots do! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
GGTharos Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 No, it shouldn't. It should provide you with two circles, and you fly the smaller one into the bigger one. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
cobrabase Posted June 10, 2008 Author Posted June 10, 2008 No more ILS cross on the HUD in Flaming Cliffs? [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
GGTharos Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 No ILS cross on Russian aircraft. It's not on the real thing, either. It's the concentric circles. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
cobrabase Posted June 10, 2008 Author Posted June 10, 2008 No ILS cross on Russian aircraft. It's not on the real thing, either. It's the concentric circles. Ah ha!!! Okay. Was this a change from 1.1 to 1.12A? The manual with my CD uses the cross. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
GGTharos Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 I don't recall when it changed if at all ... I've been on the F-15C exclusively for a long time now. Incidentally, the F-15C does have the iron cross on the HUD, but it should not :) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Reminder: SAM = Speed Bump :D I used to play flight sims like you, but then I took a slammer to the knee - Yoda
Vekkinho Posted June 10, 2008 Posted June 10, 2008 Ah ha!!! Okay. Was this a change from 1.1 to 1.12A? The manual with my CD uses the cross. IIRC, I think it's a change from 1.0/1.02 to 1.1/1.12a! [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
