The MOST weird issue I NEVER met in the World on default FA18

Featured Replies

I spent a couple of hours learning default FA-18 by following the PDF manual,

but cannot complete a ILS approach. Finally I found out the problem:

 

(Dont know how to upload the images.)

e.g:

1. press ILS button, dial 1-1-0-3-0, enter.(TACAN coded '39'). No showing ils signal.

2. switch to C172, on NAV1 it was 110.29, weird aha? Correct it to 110.30.

3. Return back into FA18 cockpit, ILS signal showed correctly.(TACAN coded '40').

Tried different runways in various airport, still the same problem.

 

I googled very hard but no same issue.

Anyone could have a workround or just enlighten me?

Most likely a bug.  FS Dreamteam developed the VC and gauges for the upgraded version of the FA18 in Acceleration.  You might check the forum there as they have an unofficial forum for the FA 18 and you might find an answer to your question there.

In all my years of flying FSX I had no idea there was a forum over at FS Dreamteam for this.  Thanks for the heads up guys.

 

And better yet I have all their Hawaiian sceneries and didn't realize that their have been updates until I spent a moment browsing their website again.  Gees.  Not sure what the updates are about but I'm off to d/l and catchup on my reading over there.
