March 19, 200422 yr Hi all,Can anyone tell me if they are having this problem or how to solve it please?When tuning the ILS on PMDG's 737, it always gives the reciprocal runway if the frequencies are the same. For example, at KLAX the frequencies for 25L are the same as 7R, so if I am landing on 25L, and tune 111.70, (which is the same frequency for 7R) the ILS tunes to 7R. It happened at KSEA too. I wanted to land 6R, tune the ILS and it tuned into 24L. This is very annoying because it means I have to land with the wind (or not use the ILS). How can I get it to tune into the runway I want when the reciprocal shares the same frequency?ThanksRichard

This is working for me in FS9, although I haven't tried KLAX yet.If you're on the northeast side of LAX, you should get the localizer for 25. If you're on the southwest side (making a downwind to join the approach), you'll get 07 until you cross over the midpoint of the runway.Hope this helps.
March 19, 200422 yr TimothyI had the exact same thing happen to me today when approaching EGFF (Cardiff, UK) which also uses the same frequency for both Runways 12 and 30 (110.70).To me it seems that the localizer that is closer to the selected CRS comes alive. While my CRS was 000, the localizer for RWY 30 was active, once I dialed in the localizer course for RWY 12 (121) the correct ILS ID for 12 was displayed., even though I was still closer to the approach end of 30 and on a heading of 288 (the RWY 12 STAR includes overflying the airport).Best RegardsMax (Bern, LSZB)http://www.hifisim.com/images/as2004betateam.jpg http://www.precisionmanuals.com/images/forum/800driver.jpg
