Hi just wondering if anyone can help me. Whenever i am landing at manchester at runway 24 R i always have a problem with the localizer, i tune the nav radio to 109.50 and i get the bottom part to line me up with the runway, but there is no glideslope? every other runway approach at egcc works fine.. am i just being stupid and there isnt supposed to be a glideslope for 24r approach? or is something not right?Thanks Martin

Martin,Real world (navdata) 23R.But, basic FS9 24R and yes it has full ILS.You did not give much information on your aircraft/setup.

sorry, yes your right real world its 23r, this problem happens with all aircraft that i use and only seems to be a problem at this airport, my pc is a p4 3.2 ghz with 9600gt graphs card and 2.75gb ram, i really cant understand why i dont pick up the glideslope , as it works fine when im approaching any other airport.

I think this is a FS error which occurs at several default airports. The ILS at each end of the runway is set to 109.5 and both ends are configured to have a back course. You are getting the backcourse (without glideslope) because it is nearer to your aircraft than the ILS at the far end.Open the airport in AFCAD or AFX, press A to show the Navaids, and double click in turn on the green triangle representing each ILS. Untick the box marked Enable Back Course for both 6L and 24R, and save the file in Addon Scenery/Scenery. Your ILS should now work properly.. . . if I have guessed the problem correctly!John

thanks ill give that a try, never used or even heard of afcad for that matter, i take it this is a freeware add on?

Yes, you should find it in the Avsim file libraryrgdsDan

ok so ive followed the steps and done what you said, and now theres no ils at all by the looks of things eeeek lol,

try this, go to EGCC in AFCAD.select LIST from menuselect NAVAID at bottom of optionsDouble click on 24R ... an ILS properties page should openensure 'HAS GLIDE PATH' is enabled.Click OK, close NAVAID List page,Click File and SAVErestart Flight Simgood luckDan

Is this the default FS9 EGCC or an add-on, such as UK2000?Regards,Philip Dawson. No, not THAT Philip Dawson.

sorry i should of said, it is a scenery add on, GB airports. i have checked and has glide path is also enabled. when i change it back, e.i put the backcourse back on on both ends it works as it did before... hmmm

Do you have 1 or 2 AFCAD files showing for EGCC?

2, one is the mod one which is layer 38, and one is the stock which is layer 7 i think,. i have edited the stock and mod ones to double check, when i search for the airports tho in afcad, it is the mod one which is more highlighted, im assuming as this is the one that is in use?

Martin,I just went and flew the approach in the MSFS default Cessna.AFCAD still has Back Course active (checked).The approach is working as it should with LOC and G/S.I intercepted the G/S 8.8nm 3000' and started down.Which aircraft are you flying for this approach?Your aircraft must not be configured.

at the moment im testing it in the project opensky 737-800 with an ng panel, but i have tried it with many other aircraft and always get the same problem.{edit i have also just tested it with the default cessna, with both back course active, and still the same problem :( }

Ok,Quit testing that.Start FS9Load CessnaGo to airport, RWY 24R, ready for takeoff.Daila ILS freq You will see both LOC and G/S active right there.Your problem is with 737-800 with an ng panel.
