pluto7777 3 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 at different airports i cannot do auto landing (ils) , the bus follows everything to the airport, but when activating LS, the ILS info does not appear, so the bus cannot track on this. I have the latest nav cycle (navdata) (active till 15 aug) and i checked for the right ILS frequency thats shows in red on the display, but i cannot see the diamond signs, so i have to switch to manual landing.

Fragged^2 40 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Did you push the LS button to enable the ILS receiver? I've forgotten to do this a couple of times when switching from Boeing to Airbus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaveCT2003 2553 Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 Are you sure the ILS Frequency for the Airport/Runway is the same frequency being used at the Airport? For instance, if you're flying into a default airport, then the ILS Frequecy data is from around 2004 and they might have changed. You can check this my calling up the airport in the P3D Flight Planner or being using free software such as Airport Design Editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluto7777 3 Posted August 6, 2018 Author Share Posted August 6, 2018 Thx Dave, i checked latest 2018 info about ILS / EBBR and the frequencies still are correct, next time i ll try another rwy and see what happens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pluto7777 3 Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 OK, but is this not the freq that is displayed in red during app on my display ? Where can i check this data ? by opening files in scenery/afcad library ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pluto7777 3 Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 Hi Dave, i found this tool, i wanna check with this: airport inspector http://aero.sors.fr/navaids.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deputy Sheriffs mopperle 4162 Posted August 7, 2018 Deputy Sheriffs Share Posted August 7, 2018 The Airbus takes the frequency from its navdata base. But as Dave already said, it must be the same as "sent" by the airport, which is mostly not the case as P3Ds internel database is still th outdated one from FSX. To solve this problem, do as Dave already suggested, check in P3D what ILS freq the airport sends. you can see the freq in flightplanner: Please login to display this image.

pluto7777 3 Posted August 7, 2018 Author Share Posted August 7, 2018 I checked this in flightplanner and freq is also OK there, i did another flight to EBBR and took RWY25R instead of 25L, and ILS works fine there...bizarre... Any reason why LM does not update or adapt these files in their new versions of P3D ? they keep on using 15 years old FSX files ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No professional customer will use an add-on that does not provide access to updatable nav data bases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveCT2003 2553 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 What one can do is update the AFCAD, and updated AFCADs are available for most of the regional to international airports world wide. If there isn't an AFCAD update, then it takes about 1 hour to learn how to use Airport Design Editor and about 15 minutes of work to update the runway headings and ILS frequencies for any airport. Adding the updated AFCAD takes mere seconds! AVSIM, Flightsim.com and several other sites have hundreds if not thousands of free, updated AFCADs ready for download and use. Of course the better alternative is to use a payware airport! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveCT2003 2553 Posted August 7, 2018 Share Posted August 7, 2018 Well, I think it's safe to say that one way or the other the scenery frequency wasn't matching the AIRAC used by the aircraft or there was some other operational based issue at work here. At any rate, the OP seems to have things working fine, so I'm going to close this thread in 24 hours. If the OP needs to communicate further about this issue then please open another thread and provide some detailed information that will allow us to take a deeper look. Best wishes.
