switching to ILS

[michael.chomiczewski@gmail.com]

Thank you. I asked because in a recent flight it did NOT switch to ILS. I got a message saying something along the lines of 'switch to ILS frequency' or 'switch OBS' or 'switch to approach something or other’ - I don't recall exactly. It was not clear if I was being informed of the switch taking place or instructed to perform one. But the system did NOT switch anything automatically (as I thought it should). It had ILS frequency on standby but did not switch to it. So figured I need to intervene. But when I clicked SWAP it did NOT swap. Instead, the ILS frequency went away and the previous active also populated in standby (replacing the ready to go ILS frequency). I now had same frequency in both, neither ILS. I fumbled around (in VR - with mouse; because I can’t use touch screen app side by side sim and popouts does not allow clicks with VR active; but I digress  ) and quickly found ILS frequency again that JUST disappeared from the GPS -  as I was trying to swap into it. I tuned it once more (this time manually, on active; previous was supplied on standby by the flightplan), switched CDI to NAV, and was able to land (almost) normally using ILS.


Please let me know how I can help you isolate this bug. I can try and pause next time this happens and then take a screenshot (it's risky because I fly VR and the sim is often flaky comiing in and out of VR - it crashes; but I can try if a screenshot would be helpful to you)
