VirtualCol Do328 ILS landing

Featured Replies

Hello, I recently purchased the VirtualCol Do328 from SimMarket ("purchased" as part of a free promotional), and I cannot figure out how to land using the ILS system with it. I tune NAV1 to the corresponding frequency, but how do I change the gauges to get the right one to see the glideslope and other indicators?

I"m also having a problem with takeoff procedures, and making sure my plane gets in the air (do I have too much flaps or not enough, etc.).

THanks for your thoughts and help!

Did it come with a manual?

It did, but the manual does not include information on how to change the Radio Magnetic Indicator to anything for landing. I did find a before takeoff checklist, so maybe that will help.

If you have NAV1 tuned to the runway's proper ILS freq and you are hearing the ILS MORSE CODE, when in range, I would think you should get something like I show, on the display if your airport ILS HAS a Glideslope and you have the APR button engaged.

So those arrows are the glide slope? OHHHH. Ok. Thank you!

For takeoffs, the manual I have says one step of flaps, 12 degrees, before takeoff, but I can only manage a takeoff at full speed (two of the engine dials are red) with no flaps.

On your numpad 10-key you may need to press 1 a couple of times to set elevator trim.  There should be no need for red engine dials.  Flaps should be used for takeoff.
