No ILS/TACAN signal sounds?

[isaac18]

Just upgraded my DCS world and A-10C module to newest version, but I found that after I set the correct frequency and turn on the power of ILS/TACAN module, there is no signal sound any more(should be some Morse codes I suppose). However, the navigation signals are actually received, because the indicators on ADI and HSI are working quite good. I don't know the situation in the real world, if this is intentional or a bug, or maybe there's something wrong with my DCS world? Hope someone can tell me, thanks.

By the way, my english is poor, please ignore grammar mistakes(I'm sure there are lots of them)~

I experienced the same problem since the update. There's no ident signal anymore (the nav aid identifier in morse code). I only get a white noise when I get out of range of the tuned navaid.

I was having trouble with ILS yesterday. It wasn't picking up the signal and the indicators were not working.

Same issue with tacan. Came on eventually after about 20 minutes.

As OP stated, ILS/TACAN is working, just no audio signal. If the ATC is sending you to a runway that doesn't have ILS (e.g. Kolkhi runway 27 in Dragon's Weaponstraining because of Wind) it won't work in my experience, even when you ignore ATC and land on runway 09.

Kutaisi ILS (109.75) also did not work last time I checked. Worked fine before the latest mini-update.

With me it's only the ident signals that aren't working. The signals that are steering the instrument needles are working fine. I didn't check the issue on other modules though...

Yes, this is true. I should qualify my statement with the fact that I was able to track the tanker with the needles on TACAN... but as you said the audio didn't work.

 

In addition, I wasn't able to contact the tanker on the radio- but it sounds like this was a reported bug.

Same here ! needle ok no audio!

[Raydowe]

I have same problem. No TACAN and ILS sounds after last upgrade

[Skall]

Same here. No TACAN or ILS sound. Though the bars and needles work properly on the instruments.

[derblutigeßer]

Same to me. This sucks. I need this beep! Any Solutions?

Seems this problem persist back to 2013. I have no audio morse code's on Tacan and ILS. Anybody can confirm or suggest what I'm doing wrong of this is actually working for you?

Haven't checked in a while, but I recall this being fixed almost a year ago.  You need to turn on the TACAN and ILS audio on the intercom panel, they default to OFF, so you need to either push them in or pull them out (I can't recall which way).

Haha, same here. It's either a left click or a right click; whatever changes the state of the TACAN and ILS buttons on the INTERCOM panel, that's the correct one.

I'm not aware of any current issues, but just to reiterate, the default was changed from always-audible to off-by-default, so older documentation might be outdated.

It will be a right click to pop the ILS/TACAN volume knobs up and a left click to push them back in or off.  They default to off, so you will need to right click them to turn them on initially to hear.

I just tested the A10cii on a three of the maps caucasus, NTR, and Syria.  The 3 airports all transmitted both ILS/TACAN when I jumped in. So, it could be just be a fluke or switchology.  ED will most likely only help if you provide a track file if it happens again.

LOL, I'm glad I'm not the only one

@jaylw314 @Yurgon @CageyLobster Thank!
ILS and Tacan Morse audio codes works and it is indeed required to "pop up - enable" the volume knobs to enable sound from those - exactly as described.
