Adding ILS using Afcad.

[Zaphod]

Hi all.

I have sucessfully added ILS to the runway at Ascension AB using Afcad but the frequencies do not appear on the GPS info screens or the Map view!
I have tested that I am able to make an ILS approach using the appropriate frequencies and it works OK.

Any ideas?

Cheers.

I,m using FS2004

Have you added an approach to use the ILS?

[Zaphod]

Nooo..but I am able to use the ILS approach, it just doesn't display the relevant frequencies in the GPS or Map views. The Green "arrow heads" appear in the GPS view but not the frequencies on the info pages.
I take it there is another action I need to carry out to get them to display?

...mmm....did you just add it by doing Insert/ILS in afcad?  I just tried it on Rwy 14 and from the map got it to show up ok, also on the GPS screen....don't know why you had trouble ..it's a simple enough exercise.........commoner

Hi Commoner..
Actually I had a lot of trouble getting both ILS approaches to show at first. Initially I programmed rwy 32 and that worked ok, but when I added rwy 14 only that worked although they both showed on Afcad. I can't quite remember what I did to get them both to work but they both work now although niether show on the GPS or Map. I must admit I never checked to see if the frequency showed on GPS

If I recall correctly you can use an ILS with the User Aircraft even if there is no approach code associated with it.

It's strange that Commoner was able to get the frequency to show and I can't. I think the problem may have happened when I added the second ILS approach.
I think I'll remove both and start from scratch.

Watch this space.

I would just do one end the active maybe....see how you go with that........commoner

Yep.. Seems to work fine with just one end of the rwy equiped with ILS!

Strange though. There are plenty of Airports with ILS at both ends.

Never mind. Thanks for the help.

Zaphod,

Don't give up

For Jon, if you happen by: Curious as to how you create a new approach code.

[commoner]

No I wouldn't advocate giving up...it just struck me that maybe you hadn't given both ends a different ILS ID....as in my pic.....check it out....commoner

Many thanks to Dave and Commoner. It really is straight forward once you know what order to do things in!
My problem was that once I got Rwy 14 working I added Rwy 32 with the same designator, but it refused to show. Once I realised my mistake and changed it, it didn't update the Rwy properties as Dave has already pointed out.
All sorted now!
Another lesson learned.

Thanks again.

Zaphod.
