Hey Guys

Just wanted to ask if the ILS does work?

Have spend a few hours already trying which very happy to but just wmayed to confirm the Herc has GS

Maybe just LOC

Thank you CS

ok so worked the AP ILS out

very hands on and very fun

1 Make sure you are on AFF
2 Flight Director on NORMAL
3 ILS/VOR
4 You will need to constantly adjust the course bar to match the LOC , you will catch the GS then once you decide to take the plane its all yours


very fun very old school

What is AFF ??  :-/

cheers  ;)

OK, never mind, found it !

cheers  ;)

I can get the localizer needle but I haven’t seen a glideslope needle on any ILS I’ve tried.  Am I missing something?

Its on the left side of the gauge not the usual right.

I haven't seen a line at all on the gauge other than the localizer for line up.  Is there something you have to click to get the glideslope uncaged or something?

I found this tutorial video very helpful for learning how to use the autopilot for navigation. It also demonstrates an ILS approach.

he does 2 vids on navigation for c-130 and that is the best one

1 Make sure you are on AFF
2 Flight Director on NORMAL
3 ILS/VOR1 with the correct ILS frequency
4. Make sure you are at the correct height to catch the GS
5. plan your course entry 35 m out
6. entry speed 120-150

ILS works fine, thanks :)

Hi, although the aircraft follows the ILS it is always off set from the runway centre line, usually to the right. Is there any way to correct this ?
Thanks for any info.
