732 Issues (Advisory)

[Nelson L.]

Just two things -

I think the controllers' have already been notified by Joe, but I haven't seen it on the forums yet - while intercepting a LOC, the FlyJSim 732 will turn in the opposite direction and intercept the LOC outbound at certain airports if you're "shut down tailwind ILS" box is not checked. GS has no issues to my knowledge (just shot an ILS into SNA this morning).

Secondly - I haven't seen this in the PE forums, so for those unaware, autogate has misaligned door points for the 732. To fix - http://flyjsim.ipbhost.com/index.php?/t ... ordinates/ (thanks to Chevy).

Hi Nelson

Have you tried disabling "shutdown tail wind ils" on the local map (upper right corner checkbox)?

This option will disable the ILS not in use on the other end of the runway.

It is my understanding this problem is not an aircraft related but xplane behaviour when opposite ends of the runway share the same ILS freq. I.E. Ontario 08L & 26R share 109.7.
In real life one end will be disabled by the airport, on xplane you have to turn it off, If you don´t xplane will try to pickup the end which "better suits" your aircraft based on your position and heading but it doesn't work very well at some airports.

hope this helps

Hm, could be - I was informed that it was a universal XP issue concerning the aircraft that popped up recently. I haven't changed any XP settings, but the plane has started turning the wrong way - that being said, I'll definitely take a look.

Yeah this is a case of both ILS's being active and the 732 picked up the opposing side's ILS( since they often share the same frequency). Selecting the shut down tailwind ILS's will help, but this can also cause trouble often times because it isn't perfect in deciding what ILS to shutdown( i.e.: if landing on the ILS 28L, but the winds favor 19 into KSFO, X-Plane could decide to shut down the 28 ILS's).

Good to know - interesting because I don't remember clicking/unclicking any check boxes in the local map (I rarely if ever even use the thing).
