SlipHavoc Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 (edited) I think I'm following the directions in the manual (pages 79-82) but it's not working for me... Set the ILS frequency on the VOR ILS panel on the right console, PWR switch on, then press the VOR button on the instrument panel to the right of the HSI. The HSI should show the heading to the ILS, and the artificial horizon should show the glide slope alignment with the needles. But the HSI just has the heading arrow pointing north, and the needles in the artificial horizon stay all the way at the edges, even when I'm directly on glide slope. TACAN works fine, and VOR beacons work fine, but I just can't get the ILS to work. My test scenario is an approach to Tbilisi-Lochini, runway 31L, which should have an ILS freq of 108.90. I set the airport to Blue coalition (same as my plane). I know the Russian ILS equivalent (PRMG) only works in instrument conditions, so I tried at night and bad weather as well, still no luck. Any idea what I'm missing? Thanks! Edit: I figured out why it wasn't working. You need to do a few things: The runway you're landing on must be the "active" runway, which as far as I can tell, means there must be some wind, and the wind direction is such that the runway would be the one planes are using to takeoff and land on (that is, into the wind). (I haven't tested the parameters, but my assumption would be any wind speed, and direction up to 89 degrees off the runway heading either direction.) Then, tune the ILS freq and push the buttons as described above. Set the runway's true (not magnetic) heading as the HSI course selection. Then the HSI will show the localizer (horizontal deviation) and the small white caret on the left side of the ADI should be active and show the glideslope. The needles in the ADI will presumably not be working until the Flight Director is implemented later on, but in the meantime those will give you the info you need.

Bremspropeller Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 I had a similar thing happen to me on a mission I built from El Calafate on the SA map. That airfield has an ILS on RWY 25. ILS Freq tuned, PWR "on", CRS set on RWY heading (manually) and "VOR" button pressed. Only had a LOC indication on the HSI. The Needles on the ADI never showed up. TACAN also works for me. AA does not work, though - at least not trying to use a yardstick. So ein Feuerball, JUNGE!
Vettefan Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 Same for me on the Nevada map: Cannot get the ILS to work. TACAN / VOR seem to work though.
Bremspropeller Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 OK, I checked again - the ILS does work. It's just the FD needle that won't do it's thing. The GS is indicated by the small carrot on the left of the ADI. Makes for a bit of an afwufl scan (LOC from the HSI, GS from the ADI, but I guess the FD will fix that later). 1 1 So ein Feuerball, JUNGE!
IvanK Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 HTFU Brem just have to fly raw data ILS for a little while.

I get lost lacing my shoes when there's no magentaline to follow! Nah, Iactually do like the challenge - just haven't seen LOC and GS split across two instruments before. So ein Feuerball, JUNGE!
FZG_Immel Posted October 30, 2022 Posted October 30, 2022 im glad its not just me. Couldnt get the needle while attempting to ILS Nellis...

Hm, I'm not getting that on mine... The left side of my ADI shows a small red flag indicating it's not picking up something (and there's another red flag at the top of the ADI), and my HSI still just shows the steering indicator fixed at 000 deg. Which airport did you test it on and how did you set up the mission in the editor? I also tried pressing every button on the F/D (Flight Director) panel tot the left of the HSI, but nothing changed.

I forgot to set a wind speed and direction that made the runway I was landing on "active". Once I did that, the ILS worked as you described. I also noticed you have to set the HSI course to the runway's true (not magnetic) heading, and as you said, the instrument scan is not ideal, but it does work. Thanks everyone! 1
