need track replay Setting up ILS issue

[markturner1960]

Hi, another quick one please.....trying to set up and practice an ILS approach. Am using Kolchi, and have selected kolchi TACAN, cmd steering, Tacan is on REC, - first issue, need to enter 108.10 for the ILSA freq, but it appears as 108.90 when entered......then when I try and enter the course, which in my case is 088 ( taken from kneeboard chart) it stays flashing in the DED ( which I am assuming is a sign something is wrong) although if I dobber back to the CNI page then back into the tacan page, 088 has taken....why does it flash?

I turn the mode on the HSI to PLS TCN but the needles are offset left and up, not as shown in Wags video and stay there even as I fly over the airfield

 

What have I missed?

Thanks

Try enter the course without the "0" infront of it, so in your case only "88".

As razor said, type 89, instead of 089. Did a short example on the fly:

note: course (in degrees) on map is shown as TRUE, while on ICP you have to enter MAGNETIC, which for Caucasus is -5 degrees (so I measured 94-5=89).

It was my pleasure, I also repeated the exercise my self  Don't do that kind of landing very often.

Or, in a more practical way, fly your plane in TRUE heading. (DED->list->misc->magv->set to manual, set 0.00 enter.)
For example, in my squadron we usually put all the planes we fly in true heading as uniforming procedure.
