ILS Problems

Postby Dr._Who » Tue Dec 30, 2008 4:01 pm

Hello yall!

So, have a bit of an ILS problem.

I usualy fly to and from ESMS (sturup).
The ILS works like charm when I land on other airports, but when landing on ESMS, things go wrong, the ILS brings me down far to the right of the runway. Am I doing something wrong when setting up the ILS, or is it a problem with the sim? I dont have any kind of addon scenery for the airport.

Sure you've got the right ILS frequency and heading?

I just tried both Rwy 17 and 35 and each ILS brought me down on the centerline.

Make sure you're tuning the ILS and not the VOR (SUP@113.0). Tracking the runway heading on the VOR will bring you in to the right of Rwy 17 (or left

At that time [1909] the chief engineer was almost always the chief test pilot as well. That had the fortunate result of eliminating poor engineering early in aviation.

The freq I got is RWY 35: 108.10    and for RWY 17 its 111.90. Should be about right...

According to the Jeppesen Sim Charts those freq. are correct.

How many times has it happened?
Maybe your to close when your switching the Approach Hold switch on.

Thats just a thought. Wierd though, but this has happened to me many times mostly because ATC clears me to close to the runway before I switch over. ::)
