ILS - missing pink diamond !
Feb 3rd, 2012 at 10:37am
Print Post  
When using the ILS procedure, the pink diamond showing the ILS on the ADI and HSI are missing + the "needle" of the ILS stays on the left ! .

I did it like that :
- I entered the ILS frequency into the radio panel
- switched the HSI on ILS : I can see the the confirmation of the ILS frequency on the HSI
- selected the LOC + APP
- I could catch the ILS : G/S and LOC in green on the ADI
- LAND3 illuminated in green
- and kiss landed like in the manuals !

BUT ! no pink diamond + frozen ILS needle on the HSI !

What did i wrong ?

Thank's for the help



Sorry if I can't illustrate the problem but as a newby I am not allowed to post images...  Roll Eyes

Markos,or Lou could answer this better than I but here goes.
First,is the airport you are landing at ILS equiped?Check this with the map dropdown.Also,if you are NOT using FMC.Is the relevant ILS frequency and course entered on the centre pedestal?
Are you at the correct altitude and heading for an ILS intercept?
It sounds like you are capturing the LOC,which makes me suspect that there may not be a glideslope at this airport.
Hope this helps.

I can confirm that the airport selected is equipped with ILS but I did not use the FMC.
And I was at the correct altitude and heading. Furthermore, as I wrote, I got the confirmation on the ADI that I was following the G/S and captured the LOC (mentioned in green !)
And the plan landed gently by herself...

Attached is an image of how mine looks when I have captured the ILS/GS.

Try doing a reinstall (selecting the repair option) to see if that fixes it. If not, you may need to a complete uninstall and reinstall as explained in KB #685.

If you are using Vista or Windows 7, make sure you install it using the "Run as administrator" option.

Thank's Markos,

Actually, I got exactly the same information on the ADI + HSI.

But it seems that in our case, the "pink diamond" showing the position of the airplane (deviation and altitude) vs the ILS on the ADI + HSI is missing.

If I compare with the "Captain Sim Boeing 757 Full tutorial part 4" avalaible on Youtube, you will see this "pink diamond".

What do I do wrong ?  Roll Eyes

Ok, after having tried to repair, but no change noticed.

The autoland is ok but... still no pink diamond :

And an other detail : the needle of the ILS is moving... but at the nail's speed !

Look at the picture : I am just a few miles from the airport, straight in line with the airstrip and the ILS needle is stuck on the left !  Shocked

I'am realising that I had installed the freeware version before buying the payware version.

I wonder if, by "chance", there aren't any "low-cost" instruments (gauge) left from the freware version which could result in this mess ?  Roll Eyes

I'll try to all re-install.

- uninstalled the 757
- cleaned the registries (there were few pieces of demo 757 left...)
- restarted the PC
- re-installed the 757
and... nothing !  Huh no horizontal and vertical guides for landing  Cry

ok, let's have a beer and think about that !

Tabo,



Here is Mark's screen capture, I just made it a bit brighter and added the G/S and LOC circles.

Always enter the approach via the computer.

Select APP/DEPT, then select the runway ILS of intended landing. This will automatically set the correct ILS frequency.

Let us know how that works out for you.



I think you may have something else going on with your display.



You have a line that should not be there. It could be a video card problem.
