Vfr fs9 problems

Recommended Posts

Hi all I'm wondering if I am missing here. If I tune nav 1 to (I have checked 10) random airports in the uk for example eggd, Bristol 110.15 I get the morse code and the CDI moves correctly however when turning the OBS to centre the CDI, it won't centre I can move OBS 360degrees and the CDI remains as it were. If I visually fly to the approach eventually the CDI will centre correctly on its own and glide me down perfectly. If I fly anywhere in the USA all is perfect I can move the OBS to centre the CDI no problems. As I have said am I missing something? Is there a bug in fs9

 

Any help/pointers would be much appreciated

 

Cheers Stuart

110.15 @ EGGD is an ILS.

 

The OBS knob does nothing on an ILS.

 

It is a good practice to turn the OBS to the runway heading for situational awareness. However it is not necessary.

 

If you tune to a VOR instead of an ILS the OBS should work as you are expecting.

 

If you do tune to a VOR and the needle does not move then you have tuned to a DME only, which is what you will find in FS where there is a TACAN in the RW.
