    I am using the latest RJ85 (Lufthansa livery) on MSFS2024.
    Latest Navigraph also downloaded and installed.
    When making ILS approaches using autopilot, I can press Approach mode(and turns yellow)
    with proper pink ILS indication on my primary instrument as it should be.
    But at times on a different flight (same airport, same ILS approach), no active indication on
    Approach mode, ILS does not become active as no pink ILS indication on primary instrument.
    Essentially approach does not work, end up flying mannually.
    Frequencies are checked against Navigraph charts so no issue there.

    This ILS problem seems to happen maybe one every two or three approaches.
    When it works, the plane flies wonderfully.

    Any work around for this or any fix planned?

    I probbly have over a 100 ILS approaches in the RJ now, and have not run into this situation. I wonder what would cause that. Is it getting a LOC* and a GS* at all on the pfd?

    Yes, both LOC* and GS* indications are there when the ILS works, but not when it doesn’t work. It’s as if the ILS frequency/VOR are not working at all (no DME reading when tuning in VOR when ILS doesn’t work.)
    I installed RJ in the FS2020 community folder then simply copy-pasted to the 2024 community folder, maybe this has something to do with this?

    @nemokin said in ILS not working (ILS frequency not active/being received on approach):

    There is a free update of the Just Flight RJ Pro family (I assume this is the aircraft you are talking about) for FS24 on the Just Flight store. I would strongly recommend you remove the pasted RJ from your FS2024 community folder and install the FS24 version of the aircraft.

    If you've purchased the RJ from the marketplace then my advice above would not work. It's only for the RJ purchased direct from JF.

    @BBoaBrim
    Thank you for your advice. Will try to reinstall tomorrow. I bought it at simmarket which had a link to a downloadable file.

    Hopefully the 2024 install file fixes the problem, fingers crossed!

    Just reporting back that after reinstalling it, ILS has been working the last few flights. So far so good, hope this stays this way.
