FBW A320 - The ILS-diamonds are not showing any more - what might be the reason?
Did you activate the LS switch in the MCP?
Also make sure FD is enabled.
Thanks! Yes, I activated LS and the FD. - Well, the plane is performing the ILS-APPR, but without the diamonds showing…
Which branch are you on, stable or development? I’ve had a similar issue with the dev branch in the past, but it seemed to be quickly fixed. Also, check you don’t have any rogue liveries… that’s also happened to me in the past.
Do you have a valid ILS frequency tuned? Is it showing in the lower left of the PFD. IRL if you don’t have a valid freq/signal the magenta deviation indicators (diamonds to you) won’t display.
FWIW having the FD on was not required to get the ILS data to display, (we demonstrated hand flying an ILS without the FD in initial qual) perhaps there’s been a software change since I flew the jet.
I have been having the same problem, not only in FBW but also in PMDG 77W.
FD is on from the beginning,
LS is turned on before final approach,
Localizer is on but VNAV light does not turn off (in PMDG 777-300,) to indicate it active,
Not only the diamond does not appear, both the planes DO NOT lock on to the vertical glide slope. In the FBW I tried both the stable, as well as the development version.
This issue started some time in August, I believe. Any suggestions will be appreciated. Thanks!
