rosariomanzo 545 Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 Inspired by @OzWookiee ATWC leg, I have purchased the Spartan, and what a nice aircraft it is! The only issue I have is that my poor old eyes can't figure out where the ILS glideslope is Nav source is on TCN, I can track the localizer but I can't see any GS indication on PFD. May anyone please help? Thanks! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
OzWookiee 151 Posted October 7, 2017 Report Share Posted October 7, 2017 I'll load her up tonight but it should be on the pfd shouldn't it? Link to post Share on other sites

rosariomanzo 545 Posted October 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 FSX-SE. I can only track the LOC, but I have no indication of GS needle. Link to post Share on other sites
OzWookiee 151 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 OK. I know in P3Dv4 I was getting ils errors in my ContentError log so it may be related? LOL. Will have to dl FSXSE and have a look =) Link to post Share on other sites
rosariomanzo 545 Posted October 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Yes, maybe. I don't even know how to get support. I opened a ticket on their site months ago for another aircraft with no answer yet. I'll live with it. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
OzWookiee 151 Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Yea... Unfortunately I think we have to assume that if we can't fix it then it'll stay broke. =( Shame, they have some nice birds and I'm trying to get the Spartan fully working in v4. Had to swap over Dave Dawsons audio gauge and a couple other things but the xml is killing me. Link to post Share on other sites

Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted October 9, 2017 Report Share Posted October 9, 2017 (edited) As a work around, if you just want a gauge to be able to see when you are on the GS...you could create a pop up nav instrument or HSI from the panel of another aircraft in your hangar adding to the panel.cfg of the Spartan. If you have the carenado c-185 in your hangar it is super easy to do. Copy the WindowXX=Toggle_HI from the top section... paste it into the spartan panel.cfg at the bottom of the same section. and copy the corresponding gauge section just below that looks like this...not for sure what numbers...so I used XX: //-------------------------------------------------------- [Windowxx] Background_color=0,0,0 size_mm=448,494 window_size_ratio=1.000 position=0 visible=0 ident=785 window_size= 0.110, 0.162 window_pos= 0.110, 0.680 zorder=0 gauge00=C185!Heading Indicator, 0,0,448,494 And paste in to the Spartan panel.cfg below the last Window section entry, and ensure the window numbers are in sequence. Not elegant, but it will help catch the GS. Cheers. Edited October 9, 2017 by Captain Coffee 1 Link to post Share on other sites

rosariomanzo 545 Posted October 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2017 I've found a way to intercept the glideslope with the Spartan. Matt's advice has helped me to have a visual clue of the gs so I can manually fly it, but I've found that if you use the copilot AP, approach work as expected and automatically follows the ILS. I've noticed it also thanks to the added Wefly autopilot. If you press APP on the pilot's side the approach light on Wefly goes away immediately and the ILS won't be flown automatically. Success is assured by the copilot instead! 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites
