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?

在VHHHH你用的是哪个跑道和频率？我刚刚降落了ILS 07C 109：30/074'，一切正常。即使在地面上，我也用过07R 110.90，能选择ILS或LOC。

调校
ILS后，HSI显示正常，DME显示吗？

Due to today's wind direction, I'm using Runway 25C with the frequency 109.30 and heading 254°, exactly as shown on the aeronautical chart.

I can't get the ILS and LOC buttons to light up/activate at all, let alone have other related systems work properly.

Interesting, I just did the IGS 13 into Kai Tak from another flight and then zipped back up to throw (literally 😅) myself into the ILS 25C after reading your last post and everything worked.

So just to check , You have 109.30 and RADIO selected?


The ILS shows a DME on the VOR/DME Indicator?


The HSI shows the correct course and the course bar has moved either left or right with no flags?


You have at least one FD on?

确认一下，你选了109：30和RADIO吗？


ILS在VOR/DME指示器上显示DME吗？


HSI显示的航向是正确的，航向条要么向左或向右移动，没有任何旗帜？


你至少开着一个FD吗？

I've confirmed I entered 109.30 and switched the radio mode correctly. Both FD have been switched on since before takeoff.

In your video, once you press the ILS and LOC buttons, they stay illuminated, and it shows ILS ARM or LOC ARM until fully capturing and engaging the ILS/LOC signal.

But on my end, the ILS and LOC buttons pop off and turn off immediately right after I press them. Because of this, my VOR/DME indicator and HSI won’t respond or engage with the ILS at all.

The only place I can successfully capture and engage the ILS just like in your video is at SS3D Chongqing Airport (ZUCK).

The L1011 doesn’t have a separate Navigraph data folder to install navigation data like the A350 does.

Could this be caused by an issue with my Navigraph navigation data? I installed both nav-base and nav-jepp through Navigraph Hub.

NavData doesn't have an impact on radio navigation in this case where the sims navdata is up to date.

Just to clarify, the VOR/DME indicator and HSI work independently to each other and from the ILS/LOC buttons. Regardless of the ILS/LOC buttons, the VOR/DME and HSI should show information to the radio within distance.

If you are on the ground at VHHH and tune 109.30 in radio mode, does the HSI and VOR/DME show a response as per the above screenshots?

Can you upload a video?

Then these two standalone instruments are definitely not working either.

The DME always shows 0000, and the HSI stops functioning once INS navigation ends.

However, after activating the VOR, the HSI displays a straight line pointing toward the 254 heading.

I’m really sorry, but uploading videos to YouTube isn’t possible from my current region.
