Hey everyone. I have been flying a little A-10C II lately and playing around with the navigation and radios. And I have a couple of questions for the community.
ILS. I can get Glideslope and HSI indicators to react but I get nothing on the ADI? I was looking at Chucks guide and following the steps but (for the Tonopah Test Range airfield) I am not getting any yellow/amber bars on the ADI to follow. Weird? Just me? Or am I missing a switch? I do select ILS on the lower front panel (TCN is off). I saw/read mention that the yellow bars are âflight directorâ indicators and maybe I am supposed to toggle that somewhere?
UHF ADF. I get a signal, the light is illuminated, but the (1) needle on the HSI doesnât seem to track/point to the source. I have TCN and ILS off. Is there another switch?
VHF FM ADF: Seems âworseâ that what I am getting with the UHF ADF. I get a lamp, but no matter what I do with the radio (on/off, DR, etc) - it stays illuminated? Maybe I am just not waiting long enough?
Hereâs the disclaimer. It has been awhile and I am not at my gaming computer right now so I can only hope this is correct.
(1) I am pretty sure that in order to have the âneedlesâ on the ADI the ILS switch must be selected. Additionally, move the switch, I think labled âPTRâ on the navigation source switches from âstowedâ to âable.â
I might have the names wrong, but I remember struggling to get the ILS working and that was my solution.
Thanks @wingman1387 and @Derbysieger! That got me past the ILS ADI needles. Now I just have to figure out the ADF ⊠which is, I think, a problem on my end setting up the units. I will look into that soon and get back to anyone following
