hancsu Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 (edited) Hello Everybody. I have been learning to land, and all was well until I started doing my pre-landing checks. I have done a couple of successful landings after having spawned into the mission airborne, and on the airport page I get the ILS frequency just fine like this: RWY: 9 ILS: 131.90 (or whatever) However, when I try the same thing after having spawned in to do a cold start-up rather than spawning in airborne, whenever I get onto the airport page on the CDU, it says: RWY: 9 ILS: ******* With asterisks instead of the ILS frequency. Am I forgetting to do something on startup? Here's my startup checklist: Battery - ON Inverter - STBY Boost Pumps - ON APU - START Throttle Pinky Switch - AFT (Ctrl + P) Position Lights - FLASH (Right Back) VHF AM Radio - TR UHF Radio - Main VHF FM Radio - TR Left/Right AC Gen - ON APU Generator - ON Left Engine - START EGI - ON CDU - ON CICU - ON JTRS - ON IFFCC - ON L+R MFCD - DAY/NIGHT CMSP Mode - STBY 4 CM Switches - ON Right Engine - START CDU on Right MFCD - PAGE APU Generator - OFF APU - OFF YAW SAS - ON Pitch SAS - ON T/O Trim - SET Anti-Collision Lights - ON (Right Back) Anti-Skid - ON Wait - 1 MIN Left MFCD - LOAD ALL PITOT Heat - ON (Square Switch) CDU on Right MFCD - PAGE T = 4.0 - INS COMPLETE CDU on Right MFCD - NAV NMSP - EGI (Above Throttle) Radar Altimeter - NORM EAC - ON CDU on Right MFCD - WP MENU WP Menu / Right MFCD - STEERPT PAGE Steerpoint Switch - FLIGHT PLAN TAD on Left MFCD - SELECT Nosewheel Steering - ON SAI - UNCAGE Ejector Seat - ARMED Canopy - CLOSE Oxygen Supply - ON Edited June 26, 2013 by hancsu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whartsell Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Are you using the same airport when spawning in airborne and on the ramp? Not all airports have ILS Arduino,EOS and Helios Tutorial Static ATC menu mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hancsu Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Are you using the same airport when spawning in airborne and on the ramp? Not all airports have ILS Nah. The thing is, what you said would probably be the problem but: I carried on the landing to the airport which had displayed ILS: ****** And I still got the MARKER BEACON signal on the front dash when I went towards the runway. It showed up twice (once for the far ILS marker and once for the close ILS marker), indicating that the airport did actually have ILS, but for some reason the frequency isn't showing up. It's not just one airport, I've tried it with 2 or 3 now after cold startups and they're all showing the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whartsell Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 which airports are you trying? Also in the Docs directory there are some airfield charts. Aerodrome Charts EN.pdf will give you all the details about the airports Arduino,EOS and Helios Tutorial Static ATC menu mod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hancsu Posted June 26, 2013 Author Share Posted June 26, 2013 Marker Beacon isnt part of ILS Ah, then I've not been listening properly. :doh: It's probably just that the airports I selected don't happen to have ILS. I'll try it with Batumi now because I know that has ILS. I'll see if the same thing happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil.Bonsai Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Just to clarify, for any future forum searches, you can view which runways have ILS in the mission editor. They will have the long, white triangle extending from the runways. Some Have ILS in both directions, some have one, others have none at all. Some bases will have the inner/outer beacons as well as ILS, some have just the beacons, and some have none at all. Just scroll around on the mission editor map and you can see which ones have them and which don't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
