Hi there,

I have the following problem.
I would like to extend GMMZ.
This airports has by default one runway and one ILS.
Even without editing anything the ATC won´t let me
take the ILS approach.  It always says visual. If I try to change the approach I can choose between another runway (visual) or NDB.. but not ILS.
Than I edited the airport. Added another parallel runway, ILS to all runways, more com frequencies, parking and taxiways.  (Fault Finder says "no problems")
Now when I change an approach
I can select all runways but again only visual.
I also tried different times and seasons.. but always
the same.. I can´t choose ILS. 
The AFCAD Manual says as soon as I add a Tower COM
Frequency everything should work.

What could be the problem with this airport ?
Is there something I am missing ?

Thank You,

sam

This really oughter go up as a sticky as I've posted it so many times.

All of the approaches are programmed into the sim. Visual is the default when there is no other to choose from. If you want to add an ILS approach to an airport you've designed or modified you have to learn how to program it in using the BGLComp XML SDK. You have to learn about transitions, arcs, approach legs, missed approach legs, fix types and a whole lot of other stuff. It's complex just to do one approach for one airport let alone the hundreds that M$ has included in the sim.

Afraid not. Each ILS approach is specific to each airport. Each runway at the same airport even has to be programmed in separately.

BTW - AFCAD just sets up the frequency so it will work. Getting ATC to assign the approach which is what we are talking about is as you can see something completely different.
