cannot produce and mssing track file Getting ILS to Work

[Sabreliner]

 

 Not sure if this is a bug or not, but has anyone been successful in getting ILS to work?  I have the PRMG channels set in the DTC options.  When I select A/D and RSBN with the switch in AUTO, I get a course indication but no localizer or glideslope.  I have tried also in MANUAL mode to no avail.  Do I need to add an RSBN car to the runway to get ILS indication like with RSBN?

Try landing in Krymsk aerodrome and see if it works.

I feel like Krymsk confuses the system because both runway ends use the same PRMG channel. Return mode works as expected until the handoff to Landing mode. Happens regularly to me when testing RWY 22. Meanwhile on the same flight I can quickly hop East to Krasnodar-Center and have it all work perfectly on RWY 09.

  Lately, I have been flying in the Marianas exclusively, and I have had no luck with PRMG there.  Will try Caucasus.

Maybe it's not obvious to you, but MiG-29 is not compatible with ILS. If you want to use PRMG/RSBN you have to put and configure the units at the airport you want to land at. Only some Caucasus (russian side) and Cold War Germany (GDR) airports have set PRMG/RSBN by default.

Works for me.

Never tried with RSBN/PRGM cars, but tried with Russian airports with embeded PRGM. 

When you use auto mode, you should use RETURN button as well. With selected beacon programed into DTC for that airport and airport number is selected. Also 0-179° - 179-359° switch needs to be set in position depending on runway heading. 

If you want to set MANUAL mode, you need to flip magnetic heading switch to manual and select runway magnetic heading. In lower part of navigation panel select adequate chanels. For example 22 (on both wheel controls). Make sure RSBN switch is selected instead of ARK (ADF).
