Hi, thanks for the graphic. okay, so I’m assuming that I’m might not be that slow… TAS is not displayed in the Kingair… but it fit’s good to the GS ± Wind.
Ok, checked it. No axis involved. Only trim up/down. And it is strange that I have that behavior only with one airplane and since Patch 1.0.2 (of the King Air)

Hi.
How did you perform ILS approach?
I am not receiving the localizer signal.
Using GTN 750. Made a flight plan with the default MSFS flight planer.
It is switching to LOC1 on final leg, but im not receiving the signal, neither on HSI nor on ADI. Red GS flag is indicated. Im not sure though if it has actually tuned in the ILS frequency into nav receiver. I will have to test it. But i guess it did, it does it for other planes at least.
I thought maybe there is some switch like on some planes to switch CDI source from GPS to NAV. There is such switch just left of the pilot yoke, but it didn’t help switching from GPS to NAV. Also this instrument is actually not documented in the manual. I have read the whole manual, there is nothing about how to properly set up instruments for ILS.
Mine never switches. I have to switch it manually.
CONDITION LEVERS DILEMMA:
I would like the fuel cut-off to occur in the detent range (Honeycomb Bravo). Unfortunately, to achieve this with the usual trick – increasing the Extremity Dead Zone – results in inability to reach High Idle when the lever is moved forward.
Specifically, at +66% extremity dead zone, you can have detent cut off but no high idle, and
at +67% you get high idle but cut off occurs before reaching the detent.
If there is a SIMPLE solution I’m not thinking of, please let me know! Otherwise, I hope there is a tweak that the developers could use in a future update to fix this.
And yes, I know it’s not the end of the world to move from high idle down to cut-off in the lever’s normal range (but the detent does serve to avoid an inadvertent shutdown when reaching for levers in VR).
In any case, this is hands down my favorite aircraft in the sim!
wait, you are supposed to tune ILS frequency in manualy?
yes ils must be entered manually lol why ? maybe with nxi you don’t have to …
this have already be discussed
if you want approach working you need to install the WTT logic by mod pms50 I think so,
posted while ago, mode as show up since, you can find it on PMS website the downside of this mode, it ll kill other avionics

Actually, you can just remove the binding all together and just use the actual switch on the instrument panel. If you bind the Avionics to a controller switch it requires you to switch both to turn on avionics… which is just redundant.
Oh, i never ever had to do that!
This is pretty much a game stopper for me, as im playing in VR and with GTN 750 installed the default VFR map is not working and there is no way to look up the ils frequency. I could only look it up on the internet public sources but this is pretty unconfortable.
maybe give a try to the In-cockpit WTT Mode (link) I maybe wrong
don’t be surprise , other gns530 etc ll failled “The aircraft uses the Working Title Technology (WTT) to manage the autopilot and the flight plan. You will get more features. This may require a specific extra package. Any other GPS in the cockpit is disabled in this mode”
PMS50’s GTN750 will put the correct freq. in the NAV1 standby box (below the NAV1 active) .Then you can switch the NAV1 freq. then switch to VLOC1 by clicking the “CDI” at the bottom of the screen in Map mode.
This will set you up for ILS. Remember, if your your using WTT active, you need to be within 15 deg or so from the localizer in order to capture it. Also fly below the GS and as soon as the needle starts moving select “APPR” on the AP.

Re-reading my post, the reactions at the specific % points seem odd – I’m not sure if I transposed the numbers. But 66 and 67 were definitely the points at which I lost one control ability and gained the other.
Ah thanks. I will try that. Yes i assume it does tune in the ILS frequency into nav, it did it for cerenado aircraft for me. I was just missing to switch something. Thanks for advise will test it later in the evening.

You can look up ILS frequencies easily in the 750 itself, not to mention the charts themselves if you link it to Navigraph (paid version).

The accurately describes how it works for me.
If you’re on an actual planned ILS approach course using the GTN750, It supposed to switch automatically from GPS to VLOC and also switch the freq. However, it has not been doing this for me lately and it may be something that needs to be sorted out by PMS50 to get it working again.
Is this feature currently working for anyone else?
Not working for me either

Are you using the TDS GTN750? If so, the ILS frequency should be automatically set to standby. You still have to switch it to active though. Then you also need to switch from GPS to ILS on the TDS. That’s how I do it anyway.
Yes. Sometimes when I switch the CDI from GPS to VLOC, it doesn’t take (the HSI is still showing flags). I then double tap the CDI to go to GPS then to VLOC and it activates the HSI and I scan see the GS indicated. As long as I’m under the GS and fly into it, it will lock on every time. It behaves this way for me with every plane I fly that uses the TDS GTNxi.
FYI: ILS approaches are usually intercepted below the GS, because in the real world, the ILS antenna can produce false signals above the GS path. I’m not saying this is why the GTN750 won’t capture it… just a bit of trivia is all.
