ILS GLIDESLOPE in Elevation Profile gone.

Featured Replies

After update to latest version, I can't show the green ILS glideslope into airports with ILS. The option to display is greyed out in the menu. Pity, I found it so useful. Any help?

This should still show up and it does here.

Do you have an example where it is missing? Simulator? Navigraph update or not? Airport and approach?

Note that you have to use an ILS approach to see the slope in the elevation profile. Otherwise the ILS is not shown. Localizers have no glideslope and are therefore not shown in the profile.

You can override the ILS slope display in the menu "View" -> "Navaids" -> "Show ILS Feathers". Then the ILS feather is also shown for other approach types.

And check if the related option in the elevation profile context menu is set:

Thanks Alex.

I'm looking at EGPH runway 24 approach. I know it has ILS. MSFS2020. No Navigraph.

The odd thing is that I have flown this approach so often (my local) and it always showed the handy green glideslop in the elevation profile.

Thanks. I see the glideslope here in the elevation profile approaching EGPH using ILS FI24 (I24) using MSFS without Navigraph navdata.

Right click in the elevation profile and look if "Show ILS or GLS/RNP" is checked.

I'll do that later. Away from PC now. Thanks so much for your help.

So I did all that and it's still missing, the View>Navaids>Show GLS/RPN Approach Paths is greyed out and on the FP Elevation Profile, Show GLS/RPN is selected.

I wanted to post a screenshot but couldn't find a way. Only a URL...

I seem to have stumbled on the problem area. I tried other destination airports with ILS and they work as normal with glidepath showing.

Only EGPH (Edinburgh) shows no ILS even though it should have and it has ILS feathers on the map. But on the select airport/runway dialog it doesn't show ILS. There are approaches with ILS.

I had scenery for the airport. I've uninstalled it but still no ILS at EGPH.

I tried EGPH here with an ILS approach and different simulators and I always see the glideslope.

You won't see the glideslope if LNM cannot build the elevation profile.
Do you see an error message below the flight plan table?

Thank you for the screenshot. Your settings look ok. The menu item "Show GLS/RPN Approach Paths" is switched on (blue background) and not disabled (grayed out).

Using the same flight plan and scenery library configuration here and I cannot reproduce this.

You seem to use an airport add-on. Maybe this breaks the ILS since I do not see any ILS at all on the main map despite being enabled in the toolbar.
If this is freeware: do you have a link?
