Title: Glideslope issue
Post by speck on Nov 6^th, 2010 at 1:00pm

Hi Guys I just want to check in with you first before opening a ticket. When I tune to an ILS frequency on NAV1, my localizer moves but my glideslope does not seem to want to function. Am I doing something wrong? I'm not using any autopilot to guide me

What specific ILS are you trying? Are you sure it's a full ILS and not just a LOC approach? The GS needle is also very small and can be hard to see depending on your zoom level. Have you tried an ILS using the AP and if so did it track it?

I really don't know what to say, I re-tested again and its working. I have no idea what went wrong.

I'm having the exact same problem with the glidescope. I'm getting the localizer but no glide. Speck, did you make any changes to get yours to work again? Anyone have any other ideas?

The glideslope deviation bar is shown on pages 15 and 16 of manual 2.It is very tiny,in fact I missed it myself the first time I tried auto g/s landing.The manual says something about it being green on some aircraft,but this one is white.You may have to zoom in to get a clearer picture.

I had this issue on V1.0 or V1.1. I only modified the aircraft.cfg file to add new repaints.
The issue I had was probably because I loaded another payware plane prior to loading the CS707. When I restarted the sim, chose the default C172 and then loaded CS707, I did not have that issue again. I might have also installed the latest FSUIPC version but I doubt it did anything.

Whoops .Cessna 172 load worked for a bit but is now intermittent for solving the glideslope issue
