It formed two directional pattern in horizontal plane (fig. Ground equipment consists of two radio beacons – localizer and glide slope, which are placed on an aerodrome. Alex's navigation app seems to do that, although I have only looked at it, I have yet to try it in the sim.Instrument Landing System ILS is a ground-based instrument approach system that provides precision lateral and vertical guidance to an aircraft approaching and landing on a runway, using a combination of radio signals from radio beacons with a meter range. So, if you use sim data to fly sim planes, the best data is generated from the sim itself, even if it would not be correct for real world flight: that's my view. This isn't surprising given the patchwork data set that flight sim uses: Asobo does not keep up with AIRAC cycles. More importantly, there's always a few real-world airports that have made changes, so that simulator data won't always match. Despite that most Canadian airports are less than 100 miles from the American border, you won't find many of them listed in Skyvector. Unless you pay quite a bit, it's difficult to find any one site that has worldwide coverage. I think it's ideal if the third-party ILS data came from the sim itself. There's also this, which looks promising. I found the site to be a bit dodgy, so be careful where you click: This site has some approach plates and virtual approach plates for airports around the world. Thanks everyone! One of the most helpful communities on Steam. I think I need more sleep day-to-day, haha. For whatever reason I didn't expect that MFS would use the real frequencies *and* I forgot that stuff is public. I feel like I have to relearn how to fly compared to FSX! :)Īlso good to know that MFS and Google are my friends. Maybe I'll take a short 30- or 45-minute test IFR flight and just watch the radios rather than touching anything. For whatever reason I never expected that. Regardless, that's also good to know that the ILS frequencies are intended to auto-change during a flight if I make a flight plan. I have seen info on multiple tutorials that setting ILS frequencies in-flight "doesn't work," but I haven't seen anyone else have consistent crashes, so I'm not sure how much of that is a personal rig problem. I've yet to complete a full IFR flight because when I try to tune ILS frequencies in-flight, I *always* have a game crash to desktop. I think I happened to learn about zooming in on the runways a couple weeks ago. Good to know about the change, I haven't played it since prior to the patch. I was surprised my thread was sorta necro'ed, heh. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide. I really should run through the eight tutorials just for a refresher, haha. I'm going to chalk this up to Day One overconfidence, though. I admit my casualness, so if something has changed in the overall procedure, I don't know what it is. Of course, this is assuming the ILS frequencies are still a thing to program on the NAV in the first place. And I'm having the same issue with the G1000 if there is a way to bring up the list of frequencies during flight, I have no idea how to do so. On the pre-flight world map, you can bring up the frequencies for a bunch of things (such as a tower), but no ILS frequencies are shown, even when zoomed in. In the new one, I can't figure out where the ILS frequencies are at all. But at least if I flew in a plane with the G1000, I would either just bring up the map once I got my approach, or I would write down all the potential ILS frequencies at my destination while I was still planning the flight. Also in FSX, I don't recall the Garmin 1000 having the same features. I remember in FSX, the "old" GPS system (can't remember what it was called) had a convenient way you could bring up all the ILS frequencies of a given airport, and I remember I would go in there once I got my approach approved. I've kinda had this problem since FSX but made do, but in the new one I can't figure out how to find a given runway's ILS frequency.
