Correct, the IFD Simulator does not have an embedded navaid simulation.  That's been on a todo list for as long as I can remember, but there's always something more pressing :(

Hi Dominique-

The auto switching from GPS to VLOC relies on the successful tuning of the localizer signal by the IFD. Since the simulator does not receive a localizer signal, the auto switching does not occur. At least, this has been my observation and explanation.

Regards,

I am new to this forum, and currently happy owner of an IFD-440 insalled in a TB-20 (French Registered). It might well be that my question is already answered somewhere in the forum, but I could not find it...

I like very much the IFD Trainer, but I am struggling with the fact that despite I have activated the options:

- Auto-VLOC Tuning ON
- GPS->VLOC Capture ON

The system is properly arming the VLOC for an ILS approach (GPS->VLOC Cyan), but not switching to VLOC in green when I am intercepting the LOC, despite all criterias seem to be fulfilled.

The only missing element is the ILS ident, as there is no real radio communication. If it is a limitation, it is not documentd...

Any idea?

Cheers,

Dominique
