Working Title Garmin G1000 NXi v0.12.2 on xbox - Congratulations on fixing the visual approaches bug. There is however a problem with ILS approaches.
The task – Using VNAV to navigate to the ILS glideslope intercept altitude then capturing and following the ILS glideslope to the runway.
How it was working before - My normal process is to arm VNAV and use it to descend to the ILS glideslope intercept altitude. I usually arm the approach at the same time I set up VNAV by clicking the APR button and a white GS appears on the GPS. When you reach top of descent VNAV becomes active and descends the aircraft to the ILS glideslope intercept altitude. When the glideslope is captured the glideslope indicator then changes from armed “white”” to active “green” and the CDI pointer changes to LOC1 and the aircraft descends on the captured glideslope. The transition from VNAV descent to glideslope descent is automatic.
The problem - The problem I’m experiencing now is that you can’t arm the approach until what appears to be the last part of the approach -i.e. when you click APR you don’t get a white armed “GS” appearing. What is happening is once you intercept the glideslope you get a green “LOC” and the CDI changes to “LOC1”, and only then can you can select APR. You generally get a green “GS” immediately (depending on the approach). However, having achieved both a green “LOC” and green “GS” (screen shot one), and with the aircraft descending on the captured glideslope, part way through the descent you get kicked out of the glideslope capture (screen shot two). You can then click APR again and provided you do it quickly enough you get the green “GS” indicator back and the aircraft continues to follow the glideslope down. I have tried this with multiple airports and multiple ILS approaches and consistently encounter the same problem.
