Mogens Gaardbo 0 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Will somebody please tell me, what is nessasary for CRJ to capture ILS? - more than: Correct course set in Course Nav1 Correct ILS frq Nav-selector on VOR/LOC (green pointers) Autopilot active APPR pressed Correct altitude for the ILS (below GS) Speed 180-220 kn Angel of approach =< 30 degrees LOC activated before GS All these factors were checked, but never the less - the plane continues on the present heading, passing the ILS without reacting/turning.

FraPre 89 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Hi, i missing the armed modes LOC and GS in your FMA. You have push APPR vut this modi are not displays. I had that already, that it did not react at the first press, press again and check the armed modes. Do not press APPR until the LOC Identifer properly detected and displayed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogens Gaardbo 0 Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 all the same - passing LOC without reacting Please login to display this image. Please login to display this image.

FraPre 89 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I see, you fly with FMS source. Real the last part (often yes vectors), is flown with HDG select. This is also recommended, also on other aircraft. Try this procedure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JRBarrett 675 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 In your second set of pictures, it appears that you are using LOC2 as your NAV source. If the autopilot is coupled to the pilot-side instruments, you should tune the ILS on the number 1 NAV receceiver (LOC1). Jim Barrett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconB4 30 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 It's not working for me either. I keep seeing people comment on what to do, but really, everything the OP said he's done should be enough. This plane won't lock onto the GS. I have the ILS tuned into both radios, the same way I do IRL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyacono 16 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 The only thing I've experienced was a late LOC capture, GS has worked every time. I'm on p3d 3.4 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jude 190 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 It worked for me before on the earlier builds. What version (hotfix) are you using in your cases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hans Hartmann [OLD] 1419 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 Please be aware that there's a confirmed issue with glideslope capture (or rather glideslope non-capture) in P3D v4 Hotfix 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hbzug 1 Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I had no glideslope indication in the first release, now loaded release 1005, still the same problem (installing as FSX-SE). I next tried to install as FSX, no change. Flying an ILS, AP intercepts LOC, but no vertical guidance. Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hbzug 1 Posted August 11, 2017 Share Posted August 11, 2017 Picture is ILS14 at LSZH. I have tried several ILS's at different airports, same problem. It is definitely not a scenery, but a CRJ specific issue. My other planes have no problems with ILS ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The mentioned "confirmed issue" seems to concern P3D and not FSX-SE which I'm using. Also, no GS capture is not the same as no GS indication. By the way, I find the CRJ is a great and somewhat challenging product and I'm confident that the developers will solve this little problem -:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArturV 5 Posted August 12, 2017 Share Posted August 12, 2017 Hi everyone, In my own particular case, it does capture ILS LOC and GS, but we must "help" the AP to do the task ie. at 1 dot of GS low the landing gear and capturing the glide slope, reduce your power a bit and lower your landing flaps. This will lead you to have your final stabilized and when you have the rwy in sight disconnect the AP and fly the last segment manually; slowly reduce power starting at 30 ft above the pavement and time in the flare a bit at 10 ft. until touchdown. We must remind that this wonderful bird is not an Airbus or Boeing and it does require more intervention on the PF side. What I have noticed is a slow reaction on capturing the ILS signal with a bit tendency to snake around the LOC; many things are yet to be improved but it is a great achievement from DA and AS, great bird though. Best Regards. PS. v 1.005c A.V. Washton. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogens Gaardbo 0 Posted August 14, 2017 Author Share Posted August 14, 2017 Well well - have of course downloaded and installed the 1.0.0.5. Three landings by now. One of them with ILS captured correctly. The other two was exactly the same as before - the plane passing the LOC without responding despite NAV-selector on VOR/LOC and green pointers. I'll try a couple of times more tomorrow, but I am about to loose my temper with this plane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogens Gaardbo 0 Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 It simply dont work. This is annoying. Approached in HDG-mode. NAV-selector on VOR/LOC. ILS frq and course correct, Green pointers. Autopilot engaged. LOC and a bit later GS activated . AND THE PLANE JUST CONTINUE ON HEADING. Pass ILS without reacting. I dont want to waste more time with this plane. Please login to display this image. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mogens Gaardbo 0 Posted August 15, 2017 Author Share Posted August 15, 2017 I FOUND THE PROBLEM - which also is shown on my screenshots. The XFR-button. If this button is pressed, that autopilot is flying according to the right (FO) flightdirector. The correct frq and course in NAV1 - and green pointers - do not help if its the first officers FD managing the autopilot. OK - my fault, but I have not been able to find anything in the manuals and tutorials about the XFR (nor the turbulence mode). The only place I found the explanation and solved the problem was here: https://xplanecrj.files.wordpress.com/2012/06/ch04.pdf Other pilots flying the Aerosoft CRJ could have the same problem - pressing the XFR-button just to be 'safe' but not knowing what this button does. So I suggest, that this button (and the turb-button) is (of course) explained in the manual. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
