How exactly do I engage the ILS or LOC for an automatic landing in the L-1011?

So far, I’ve only managed to get the ILS working successfully at ZUCK with the SS3D version.

I cannot activate the ILS at any other airport — including iniBuilds’ VHHH, EGLL, and third-party RKSI, among others.

I’ve completed all the steps that I can did: entered the ILS frequency and magnetic runway heading, switched to RADIO mode, used HDG to line up with the runway, and descended below the glideslope.

Yet at the vast majority of airports, the ILS and LOC buttons simply won’t light up no matter what I do.

I want to figure out the reason for this issue, please help me.

Have you try this? :)
If you are using the Garmin GPS, change from GPS to VLOC using the CDI button.
OR
Create a binding to the below to toggle it.

The rest of what you are doing is perfect - sometimes the GPS/VLOC swap over and make the HSI not respond to RADIO.
I hope thats all it is :)

I flew a leg from RCTP to VHHH, but it didn't help at all.

My ILS and LOC buttons still pop back up and turn off immediately after I press them.

I can't get into the LOC ARM or ILS ARM state at all, so I still can't engage the ILS.

At VHHH what runway and freq were you using? I just landed ILS 07C 109.30/074' and everything worked fine. Even on the ground I've used 07R 110.90 and been able to select ILS or LOC.

When you have the ILS tuned does the HSI display as expected and DME show?
