Missing ILS for KDCA

Featured Replies

I have not used KDCA for a long time. Somehow, it seems that I lost my ILS. Is that found in KDCA.BGL or some other file or files? Would appreciate any help.Thanks.Abe

What scenery for DCA are you using?

Regards,

Thanks, guys.As far as I know it is FSX original files. I show the frequency of 109.90 heading 06 on runway 01. No ils path displayed.The operation of other ILS's work just fine. Just problems with KDCA. Positioning the aircraft on 01, NAV 1, shows DME 1.0 miles. The numbers seem to be ok, the FUNCTIONING is not. Visual flight path at NAV1.My feelings, I am missing a file or files. Again, would appreciate information about the possibility of missing files.Thanks.Abe

Don't know how you could be missing a file as the AFCAD or .bgl containing KDCA has everything required. Do you have the MyTrafficX program as the scenery folder within that file has a KDCA AFCAD. Perhaps it is overriding the default if the MTX Scenery is located too high in your Scenery Library. I have mine located just above propeller objects. You can also go into the AVSIM Library and look for a modified AFCAD for KDCA and see if that works better. Best regards,Jim

Thanks Jim. Got it. I had 2 instances of KDCA.BGL in 2 different locations. I deleted (essentially renamed-just in case)one. Tried FSX, it works.Thanks for the support.Abe
