Got a problem with A10C ILS approach

[protossadun]

Hey there, when I turned on ILS approach in A10C II, the vertical line on attitude indicator dose not align with airport runway while the horizontal line  works well.  What's the problem is that?

Hi! Did you set the right course on the HSI? You need magnetic heading!

Have a look at these great tables where you can find the values:

Aerodrome Data and Frequencies v1.3

 

BTW this is the forum for the old A-10C, the forum for the A-10C II is this one.

You need to turn the Course/CDI knob to match the final approach course shown on the approach plate.  Generally it's the magnetic heading of the runway, but not always.  The vertical line on the HSI is the localizer CDI (Course Deviation Indicator), and the horizontal line is the glideslope indicator.

In the real airplane the ADI steering bar is not connected to the COURSE SET knob. In DCS it is so it's doing a comparison of course set so it's only valid when the course set is set to the inbound course of the ILS localizer.

 

This is an old lack of feature that never made it in the sim.
