A320 FMGS beta 30

@Papelin: You need to explain your issue with a little more details. What you mean with "not get in autoland"? What do you expect, what do you do? What does it do? What doesnt happen as expected?

What do I do?

I enter the ILS RADIO NAV RUNWAY frequency into the MCDU.
I press the aprox button on the FCU, but the plane doesn't caught the localizer nor the gliedeslope.
In fact it doesn't appear the LOC and GS on the PFD, just appear the HDG word.

This matter happens to me since I changed my fsuipc version to 3.999.
Earlier, I used to practice plenty of landings.

Any more details? Any sugerence?

Hi Papelin.

Actually when you enter the ILS radio frequency in the Rad nav page as a HARD data the plane might take it as a raw data approach, not a rule but might happen.

The standard way to get a full automatic approach will be setting destination airport, runway and an ILS approach, then FMGS database will set the frequencies for you, then make sure you are in NAV Blue (by pressing the hdg knob) to let the plane intercept the route for you, when NAV becomes Green, press APP + AP1 + AP2 + Managed Speed, then the plane will perform a fully automatic approach. You will see GS and LOC in blue, when they are green you are done.

Hi Papelin,

I fully agree with what Adonis wrote to you. Please try a "regular" procedure. Have you set FLEX TEMP during take off and SRS active and can you select managed modes once you are airborne? If you take off in a "wrong" mode the aircraft might not recognize the different flight phases correctly and the switching of the different AP modes might not work correctly. However, I can confirm that the GS/LOC will be ARMED and ACTIVATED correctly when you apply the regular way of doing it. I might try your manual ILS Frquency way over the weekend.

Hi JL and all,
i'm flying now and i've those problem (b20 last update) :
1. The "ILS APP" message is always displayed but it should be only 250nm before landing (if ils approach is selected)
2. I can't activate managed mode. I'm flying by Open (Speed, HDg and VSpeed)... Why?
Could it be caused because the Radio are turned off, but how i can turn on radio (in joystick setting configuration i can't find this setting) ?
3.The Perf Page is not accessible...
It's all for now...
Regards
Antonio

Hi, at about 20 miles from landing, the Managed mode was active, and also PERF Page was accessible.


What could be happened? (i think is a radio problem)

Hi

What do you mean by radios are turned OFF? there is no option to turn them ON or OFF yet??

When managed mode are not active usually it is because the MCDU was not completely filled before departure or the takeoff was not executed in FLX or in TOGA.

Maybe you recovered managed modes once established on the localizer, this does force NAV green if I remember correctly.

When you start from cold&dark, you have the radio are turned off.
If you don't turn on the radio you can have some problem (for example FD could be disconnect).

[jeehell]

As I said, in my software there is no possibility yet to turn the radios OFF so this is not your issue.

Thanks a lot mates!

I think I had some kind of problem with the fs9 ILS arrival airport frequency.
It really works like a charm now. The bus caught the localizer and also the glideslope.

Sometimes the bus is shaking from up to down without any control. Maybe, should I disconect the FBW in the AP config window option???????

Thanks for your anwers!
Greetings.
