topwill2002 Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Damn Glidescope activation" 02-27-05, 20:07z  Currently I am working on FS2004 and I can't figure out when I am flying those pre-programmed flights to get my glidescope active on approach. I thought the answer was in my comm stack...a button I was neglecting to push..the only one (glidescope) that became active while I was flying was the from Nantucket to Boston (the great reclusive mystery writer). What am I doing wrong on approach? Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top

What am I doing wrong on >approach? Greetings: It could be one or more of a few things: 1. The glideslope is a component of the ILS. So in order to receive the glideslope, you must have the ILS frequency tuned. 2. The glideslope indicator is slaved to the NAV1 radio, so the ILS frequency has to be tuned in on NAV1. 3. FS2004 does not support GPS LNAV/VNAV approaches, so the glideslope will not work while in GPS mode. 4. You may be flying too high over the glideslope and simply never crossing it (so it never "activates"). Hope this helps! Ben Remove | Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
