ILS 15R not properly working
ILS 15R not properly working
Hello,
I installed version 1.32.9 a couple of days ago and flew into BOS for the first time in a while yesterday. I had the ILS 15R loaded and when initiating the ILS approach I noticed that the glide slope indicator was showing I was far above the glide slope, which wasn't true as I used the proper ILS chart as reference and was right on profile. The localizer does work but it seems off. The glide slope indicator never moved, no matter how much I descended, it just remained stuck to the bottom most indication. I then reloaded the flight and did a test landing to confirm it wasn't a one time bug but it did the exact thing again, localize worked but glide slope indicator remained stuck to the bottom at all times and the aircraft was unable to pick up the glide slope. I did another test approach, this time for ILS 33, and that one worked flawlessly, correct glide slope and localizer. I tried to attached a screenshot but it won't let me.

Re: ILS 15R not properly working
15R has a offset localiser in real life. I guess to avoid placing the equipment in the ocean.
I set it up to cross the 15R end of the runway or run parallel.
The 15R chart says...
LOC offset 1.60°
Its not used much for landing anyway.

Re: ILS 15R not properly working
Ok that is interesting. I only landed because latest ATIS at that time said 15R active. It was pretty late... However the main problem was that the glide slope wasn't working, after two attempts. Any idea what's up with that? Like I said, glideslope for Rwy 33L worked normal when I tested it.

Re: ILS 15R not properly working
The chart says, "VGSI and ILS glidepath not coincident". I think that means the chart profile doesn't match the ILS Glideslope.
The glide slope in-game is still the same as the stock scenery but I'm not 100% its all setup right. I'll have a look at it for the next patch.

Re: ILS 15R not properly working
Thanks I appreciate it. Yeah even if VGSI was not equal to the ILS glide slope, my aircraft should at some point pick up the proper glide slope signal, but it never did. Maybe this can be fixed in the next patch as you said. Appreciate the responses.

Re: ILS 15R not properly working
I experienced a similar issue with ILS 15R in version 1.32.9. It seems like the glide slope indicator is not functioning correctly. ILS 33, however, worked fine for me. Have you tried reaching out to the developer or checking for any updates?
Re: ILS 15R not properly working
I think George is part of the Dev team, sounds like they're looking into it. Glad to hear I am not the only one that experienced itlevitatequinoa wrote: ↑Tue Nov 28, 2023 4:23 am I experienced a similar issue with ILS 15R in version 1.32.9.

Re: ILS 15R not properly working
I just flew in there twice this week & I can confirm that ILS 15R glideslope won't capture as well. Also, the LOC diamond doesn't seem to center while I'm on final approach. I'm currently on version 1.37.19.0 using SU15. I'll avoid flying into ILS 15R until it's fixed on the next update.

Re: ILS 15R not properly working
Correction, I was able to land on ILS 15R with all LOC & VNAV diamonds hitting the glideslope after activating Navigraph data as the highest priority within the Content.xml file. I finally confirm that ILS 15R is working properly.
