rogerd 2 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 I have been flying the A319 for some time now but for some reason I am having a problem picking up the loc and glide slope all of a sudden. TRIED 3 FLIGHTS different airports ILS runways and it will not pick it up.After approach check list I activate the approach mode in the fmc. I activate approach button after hearing loc alive. Any help would be appreciated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4161 Posted December 28, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted December 28, 2017 Did you make sure that the ILS frequency used by the Airbus is the same as the one that is being "sent" by the scenery? It is not uncommon that there are mismatches due to the following reasons: - You use a default scenery with its by far outdated frequencies, while the Airbus uses the latest (or at least a more recent) database - you are still using an old database in the Airbus while you use a new scenery with up to date frequencies. To check if there is a mismatch compare the ILS frequency dialed in automatically by the Bus with the frequency of the airport by checking it in the default flightplaner of your sim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mladen 55 Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 It seems to me the frequencies are correctly tuned if the copilot announces "LOC alive". I am more concerned about correct aircraft configuration for approach. Is the aircraft correctly positioned below the Glide Slope when arming/activating Approach? What is the Airspeed and flaps configuration? Would be helpful if you post a picture (in jpg format) of PFD, ND, FCU and MCDU at time you activate Approach.

rogerd 2 Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 Checked everything out and radio is tuned correctly configurations are ok .I now fly the a320 and every flight is perfect down to touchdown I am guessing it is only with the 318 319 only. Can I uninstall just the 318 319 only and do a reinstall as the 320 works correctly every time and I can not get the 318 319 to work correctly. Guessing something happened to the 318 319 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs Tom A320 4915 Posted December 28, 2017 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted December 28, 2017 Well, if the probems only happens with the A318 you should recreate it to be able to provide the requested screenshot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
