Instrument Landing System Navigation

[InFireBaptize]

Hi all,

1) Flight manual page 92, how do i switch to (ILSN) mode?

2) Landing gear wouldn't come down unless i randomly switch between modes?

 

Thanks.

I have been playing BS for a while but decided to try FC2.0

To switch nav modes the default binding is the '1' key. There's a couple of different modes that this will cycle through, including ILS.

 

No reason landing gear shouldn't drop in any mode, I think, though I don't think I've ever tried it in anything other than nav mode. Maybe you were going too fast? Not sure if that prevents it from dropping, but it might.

will have to check it out later.

oh, i see, i have nav mode mapped to x52 rotary :doh:, so most likely i need to assign it to a button to cycle through it.

 

Thank you nomdeplume.

In Russian fighter aircrafts, the landing gear will not come down if you are flying at a speed greater than 400Km/hr. This is an approximate figure.

I could be wrong but I believe its 500 kph

This is the correct measurement.

Yeah. The threshold is 500kmph. :thumbup:
