ILS control panel

[SmilingBandit]

Half of the ILS KHz settings are unusable. When adjusting the knob via mouse, keyboard commands, or iControl app the control skips the same settings every time. This has also been tested on multiple computers with the same result.

 

Obviously the impact is that ILS approaches are unable to be shot at half the airfields.

 

Functioning freq: 10, 15, 30, 35, 50, 55, 70, 75, 90, and 95

Unusable freq: 00, 05, 20, 25, 40, 45, 60, 65, 80, and 85

Although I don't have any issues using the mouse on the ILS panels, using my rotary encoders on the ILS has this same effect, sometimes on my radios too. It gets rather irritating and have never found a solution. Maybe someone with some knowledge will pick up

All the ILS channels that exist IRL are indeed selectable in the A-10C

What airfields? You can tune every ILS in the sim, or in reality for that matter.

Which is correct. The "unusable" frequencies you list should indeed not be selectable, as they are not frequencies used for ILS. The missing frequencies you list are used for VORs. In short, ILS uses odd numbers after the decimal point, VORs used even numbers after the decimal point.

I officially need to hang my head in shame. The reference site I was using had an incorrect frequency listed as XXX.40 rather than XXX.90 so I was having a heck of a time selecting it obviously.

 

Add to that ever ILS I've ever done IRL was on a NAV/COM that coveres VORs and ILS I didn't even think about the frequency options.

 

Please disregard this issue on my part.

Is it just me, or does the ILS power switch now work in reverse (incorrectly). Works (hear the morse Code) when the power switch is off and nothing when turned on???

I had the same feeling in my last flight a few minutes ago. I felt really dumb because I did not recieve the ILS signal. So I landed without it and when I shut down my Aircraft (and turned off the ILS), I heard the Morse code from the ILS station. But I need to verify this in a 2nd flight too now.

I used ILS last week, it turned on when I switched to the On position, and off when I moved it to OFF.

I had a much closer look at this over the weekend - I was wrong :music_whistling:

 

I think it was just the way it looks when you switch it.

Has anybody noticed with 1.2.5 no (morse code) when tuned into an ILS frequency even though my ILS is functioning correctly or is it just me?

[Nealius]

Nope it's everybody. It's a common issue, don't know if the devs are aware of it or not (they should be by now).

Ok thanks mate good to know its not just mine.
