@Highlander_821 said in ILS not working:

I've just done two flights and the ILS system is not working with the autopilot. Using the GNS430. I have the ILS freq tuned and the course selected. Once I change the CDI setting on the 430 to VOR/LOC and enable beam and glide on the AP, the HSI bar just moves right through the final course, but the AP does not turn to intercept. Tried this with ILS 27R at KPHL and ILS 30L at KSTL. Same results.

Same here:
To reproduce:
1.create flight plan in GNS430 (any dest ident with ILS);
2.choose and load ILS approach proc in GNS430;
3.set ILS freqency and course;
4.fly to destination airport (GPS);
6.Flight director in VOR/LOC mode, BEAM mode on;
5.before faf, GNS430 automatically switches to VLOC as it should;
problem is here: 6.two LOC/VOR indicators are green but selected course not intercepted;
workaround found:
after GNS430 automatically switches to VLOC, delete flightplan in GNS430, press CDI to gps mode and again to VLOC mode.
After that course immediately intercepted .

Have you tried contacting Just Flight support? They should be able to help with this kind of thing.

It is really hard to admit for me, but aerosoft have done a smart thing in the CRJ V2, which is really premium: Below 5000ft (I think), you dial 100s, 5000-10000ft you dial in 500ft increments and above in 1000s. Really works well, speeds things up, while not relying on the hassle of knob acceleration (always going past the value when making larger changes) or no acceleration (dialing larger changes takes forever).
Maybe this could be an approach as well.

That thing with MSFSLayoutGenerator worked for me. Now it works again, MSFS2024

This isn't behaviour we have seen on our side or have seen previously reported. Could you kindly raise a ticket with Just Flight Support at the following link and include information such as the flight plan the behaviour was observed on, and which AIRAC cycle nav data is being used at the time? That will then allow our support team to attempt to replicate this.

alr thank you very much have a nice day

This isn't something we can replicate on our side so we suspect there is another mod/product causing this to occur. Are you perhaps using GSX Passengers, as that is one product that adds additional light sources to the aircraft?

Oh great, thanks!

Thank you! That was my problem. I thought it would cause the gauge to go to full when testing. The tank was indeed empty. Trying it with fuel in the center tank let everything work fine. Thanks again

Hi Mark, thanks for the reply.

Would you have the old cockpit camera preset file? The new one no longer has the overhead panel view on mine. It used to be CTRL+7 and CTRL+8 I believe.

Thanks a lot for the advice.

At the moment, the only way the UNS-1 display could be placed on another monitor would be to open it as a 2D window (hold ALT and left-click on the display) and then drag the window to where it's desired.

The more advanced methods of making an FMS compatible with phone/tablet apps is something we've had a couple of requests for, however, it's just not an area we have ever investigated before. It's not something we would be confident in committing to until we have properly researched what work may be involved in something like this, but we have added it to our internal feature request tracker as something to possibly look into for a future update.

This is intentional logic as we limit the number of passengers/cargo that can be loaded into the aircraft to prevent large weight and balance configurations that may be significantly outside of the aircraft's centre of gravity range.

I have raised this on our internal feature request tracker as something to possibly investigate further ahead of a future update.

Understood. I may be a lone wolf crying in the wilderness on this, but it's an unsightly eyesore on an otherwise delightful product and I really hope you'll invest the necessary development time to fix it soon.
