Freeware Airports ILS In FS2004 Query

[eddywinch82]

Hi there,

 

Recently I download A freeware Berlin Templehof V3 Airport Scenery from Alexander Helmbold, and a Freeware Berlin Tegel Airport Scenery. When my friend and I flew from Munich Airport going to Templehof, when we tried to do an ILS Approach, tuning the instruments in nothing registered, so we could only do an VFR Approach. I checked the Stock FS2004 Airports of these two, Using AFCAD 2.21 and in the Runway Properties the relevant ILS Identities, 4 Letter code were showing for the relevant runways. But when I loaded the AFCAD Files, for the Freeware Addon versions in AFCAD 2.21, all the boxes were blank for the ILS Identities, yet were showing when I checked the View Navaids option. As they were with the Stock Airports. What could be causing this problem ? And how can I sort it out ? Me and my friend would like to do an ILS Approach into Templehof Airport and Tegel Airport soon. Any info and help would be much appreciated. Eddie

Hi Eddie, the ILS Identity codes aren't needed for an instrument approach. It's the ILS radio frequency that's needed - 109.50 or 109.70 for Templehof - tune your NAV1 radio to the relevant runway's ILS radio frequency in plenty of time for your final approach.

Once you've passed your last waypoint before final approach, descend to 2,500ft, then click the VOR button on your Autopilot and click your NAV/GPS switch to NAV.

When the plane starts to turn onto final, click the APR button on your Autopilot.

The plane will line up on the runway and (at about 5 miles out) capture the glideslope - it's all downhill from there!

At about 400ft on your radio altimeter, switch the autopilot off and "expertly touch down as lightly as a feather" (Ho-ho! I should talk...)
