Not yet, perhaps iā€™m doing anything wrong now, although i didnā€™t change any procedures

When i load an IFR flight from the worldmap, for some reason i cannot get the ILS info display anymore. So ILS, Localizer and approach signs.
It does clearly still work when i push the LOC and APP buttons, but i cannot see it in the displays anymore, only the vertical and horizontal dots. I use to have this problem at some airports, but now it occurs almost everywhere at mayor airports

Am i doing anything wrong?

Turn the PFD to the LS mode. In your screenshot itā€™s set to ARC

Also, in some releases of the FBW mod, it does not auto-tune the ILS.
Make sure on the rad-nav page, the LS frequency is set.

Hmm weird, never thought of thatā€¦

Where can i get those frequencies?

this is a good free website for looking up runway ILS frequencies:

Just Type in the Airport ICAO code in the Airport search box, and you can see all the ILS frequency for the runways. Otherwise, if you have Navigraph subscription, you can see the frequency in the charts.

I use littlenavmap and besides having a map with my plane showing you can get all airport information by hover the mouse over the airport and/or the runway. As default it uses ā€œStamen terrainā€ but you can download a map ā€˜pluginā€™ that gives you all kinds of google maps instead (default, sat viewā€¦)

switching to LS has no effect. Just flew from heathrow to liverpool, but no ILS from the game itself with the FBW NX experimental version

gonna try littlenavmap and the other answers, thanks

I flew the FBW A320nx yesterday. It did tune the ILS and I did see the ILS in the PFD like normal. I think you have a bad install. P.S. Iā€™m using the experimental version.

Cleared my community folder except eindhoven airport, eindhoven scenery and redownloaded the fbw320 experimental version. Just flew the short hop from Palm Springs to LAX and it captured ILS, LOC and Approach the way it should and did in the past?

A bit weird, because other then above i only had ASOBO aircraft liveries in the community folderā€¦

Gonna try some more landings to check if it works on other places as well and if i indeed got it back to work again

thanks for all the help!

ILS Frequencies in MSFS:

From the main World Map if you open FILTERS and go to the bottom, turn on NAVAIDS.

  • ILS icons will now be visible at the ends of runways that have them.

  • Click on an ILS icon and the frequency will appear in a box on the right.

  • Skyvector.com (free & most amazing) also has sid/star/ILS charts for all American airports.

Well. I did a couple of flights manual and with autoland and itā€™s working again. And with the latest updates at a speed at which the game is very enjoyable.

Thanks people!! :hugs:

I think itā€™s with the new experimental version that isā€™t just more realistic and not so easy as just only pressing the LS, LOC and APPROACH button and the frequenty imput is just new because it is not working as in the previous versions. So i use the info above and then it works

I never even use the LOC buttonā€¦ Lol. I press the LS on approach, and use the MCDU to assign the runway. Then the ILS Freq will be populated automatically.

When the ILS is within range, I just go straight to press the APPR button. And itā€™ll capture both LOC and G/S.

I normally did the same, but for some unknown reason at a lot of european airports it wonā€™t activate ILS at my sim. And i only have eindhoven airport and the new FBW experimental version installed in my community folder
