ILS Issues?

Featured Replies

Hello everyone! In the sim it seems very hit or miss on whether or not you will pick up the signal even with the correct frequencies inputted. Certain airports even though they have ILS listed and the frequencies, don’t put out a morse signal, or any signal for that matter. I flew a short hop in the Skyhawk G1000 from Bristol to Cardiff, (UK) to test the ILS and it worked perfectly outbound and practically landed itself. On return to Bristol, nothing at all. Not a peep! Even with the correct frequencies in place. As a test I flew a wide loop around the airport at 4000ft to see if I could pick up the ILS. Nope nothing! Anyone else having issues? Or did I miss the not so glaringly obvious? I did post over on the official forum, but most of the talk over there atm, is on download speeds and refunds! (poor attempt at humour..or is it!)

Zendesk it and put the exact location. That's really the only way to get their attention.

Yes it looks like. I have replicated the scenario five times now.

I was having the same issue trying to land at Aspen. Nav1 set to 115.15 (the correct ILS for RW15 at KASE) and I got nothing, even when on visual final.

Did you press the CDI button on the G1000 panel to change the mode to VOR1

That should tell it to listen to the NAV1 frequency. It's either in GPS, VOR1 or VOR2 mode

Yep! It seems certain airports are not working when it comes to ILS frequencies. This could be due to either the streaming tech, lag or just bugs.
