Missing ILS

[Jel]

Several months back in the office, i notice the ILS won´t show, neither in VDI nor HUD.

Configured:

Landing mode set, HUD and VDI both set to "ILS", ILS system powered ON and switched to correct channel (checked in editor, carrier is on ch.1, channel 1 is dialed), set steering command to AWL/PCD, carrier tacan (75X) set.

Using ICLS with the F18 works on the same carrier, the F14 won´t show me needles.

Checked manual and couldn´t quite find any missing points.

What am i doing wrong ?

Track?

There is no track. If there was, i would´ve uploaded it

From my description, should there be anything else missing ?

Edited the map and changed Carrier ILS Channel from 1 to 2.

Now it works just fine.

I really can´t tell why

Carrier Datalink?

Not needed for ICLS.

Sometimes it's hard to tell what is set.

That´s why DCS has given us Zoom View. Quite easy to tell if you look closely

As mentioned above, it only seems problematic when i use channel 1. Other channels do work so i guess i just adapt my maps accordingly and be happy.

I said "Sometimes it's hard to tell what is set" because that's how it is. Not because you can't see.

And channel 1 works just fine. Check in Instant Action Caucasus SC Case I for F-14B. Same with Forrestal. Why would a map have anything to do with it?

Since ch9.3 doesn´t exist, i highly assume you are on ch9  But yeah, i see your point.

 

About the map:

Mainly because of what i wrote above. Carrier was set to ch1 ICLS - F14 ICLS didn´t work. As i changed the carrier to ch2, it did work.

Happend on 3 of my maps (marianna, sinai, kola).

Other maps, ch1 worked just perfect.

Also as i change the carrier channel on those 3 mentioned maps BACK to ch1, it still works.

So still, I don´t know why.

 

Oh and yes, ch1 was perfectly set before since it did work with the F18
