Marker Beacon Indicator

Post by gnocgnoc »

Hi All,

I’m not sure of the use of marker beacon indicator on the right side of the dash. Can someone explain me how it works please?

Thanks
Marc

Hi.
The marker beacon lets you know when you are at the outer/middle or inner marker on the runway approach.

Are you flying at an airport with the appropriate beacons?

I only see a beacon for the ILS on 10. Is that the approach you are flying?

I just tried this myself and never saw the indicator illuminate...but I think it may still be my own operator error. More repetitions necessary!

I just tried this in FSX:Acceleration (Boxed) using ILS 29R in KTOA. In the A2A Texan there was no marker beacon indication. I immediately switched to the default C-172 and received both OM and MM indications on a second attempt (note: the beacons are not referenced on current charts, but still exist in the sim)

I've just tried flying over a few NDB's and received no response from the indicator on either attempt. Before that I flew several passes over ILS marker beacons and the light was unresponsive....so I don't know.

Hi Jacques,

Hi Mark (gnocgnoc), before you get into this further I would suggest re-posting your question in the T-6 Tech Support section http://a2asimulations.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=130 so it comes to the attention of Lewis and the team. They might be able to help you with this in more detail. You can of course link this thread in your query to give them the background already covered.

Let them know what sim you are using and that you implemented the last update to minimize his first question. :lol:
Take care, Brett

Hi Brett,

Yep you're right. That was my intention. I was just trying to see if other people got the same issue. You know, when you're the only one to get a problem then it generally means you are the problem :D ;-)
