ILS did not intercept

My Airbus A320neo V2 was on a Simbrief flightplan from Narita to Seoul. The aircraft followed the waypoints perfectly and was setup to land at RWY 34R with the ILS setup accordingly at 330degrees and 108.10 frequency. The ILS was supposed to intercept at 3600’ at waypoint DALKA and at 1600’ at waypoint PIPSN. I activated the Autoland and when I expected the capture of the ILS nothing happened and the aircraft came in at 270 degrees and missed the runway.

Perhaps it is just this airport…I willtry another one tomorrow.

Anyone else with this problem?

You need to activate the approach mode via the Appr button for the ILS
to work.

I don’t fly the A320 and don’t know what Autoland does.

Hi, check the ILS Course in the RAD/NAV Page, I also flew the neo yesterday and did not catch any ILS until I checked the RAD/NAV page and found that there was nothing in the ILS course

Sounds to me like a bit more study of the actual airplane or in this case autopilot controls are what you need. I don’t fly airliners much, but typically from the enroute navigation you still have to switch manually to the appropriate approach mode.

I have the same problem with the Inibuilds A320V2 and the FBW A320. I see the diamonds for the LOC and G/S but both just pass the center points as I stay on the intercept course. I have activated the G/S and the LOC and still miss. I’ll check the RAD/NAV page in both models next time.

You need both the ILS and FD buttons selected, make sure you have the frequency correct in the MCDU RAD/NAV page as well. And have APR selected.

Only thing I haven’t done is check the RAD/NAV page. I have the FD and LS activated for both the autopilots.

I did all of tha!

I did that…

I tried to enter the Course/frequency in the RADNAV pges, but I got a format error.

That is mos likely because the Radnav pages only deal with the VOR radios…

The mystery deepeens.

OK, your issue is with the way you are entering it.
You enter just the frequency under ILS/FREQ, and the Course under CRS.
Don’t add them as one.

I entered it, but there is no confirmation…is that OK?

Yes, if it allows the info to be entered, you got it correct.

Thank you very much…re-flying the RJAA-RKSI now …

Just noticed the Red dot in the display…what does it do?

In this case as the “hockey stick” is pointing towards the course, it is the Top of Climb.
When the hockey stick points away from the course, it is the Top of Descent.

My aircraft did a perfect CAT III dual AP landing in a heavy sidewind!

Thank you very much for your patient help!

And today’s MSFS 2020 updated the Airbus A320neo V2 with a working Terrain display :+1:

Today, the ILS intercept failed even though I had entered Course and frequency in the RADNAV page.

I wonder why this happened.

Please take a look at the below video:

You are coming in to RKSI to land on runway 33.
It has a heading from RKSI of 333 degrees.
You are flying on a course of 305 degrees.
You never did intersept the localizer.
The clue was that the diamond for the localizer was hard left on your display.
What you needed to do is go to heading mode about 20 miles out, and steer about 240, or so, degrees and intercept the localizer, as I drew with the dashed line.
Just before you intercept, turn again so you intercept at about a 30 degree angle.

A lot of aircraft will not intercept the glideslope if it doesn’t acquire the localizer first.
I suspect that’s what happened here with the glide slope.

I hope this makes sense!

Thank you again.
