No marker beacon indications on PFD?

[clorix1]

I've just installed the new version of the KA350i released yesterday. After doing a couple approaches, I realized that I don't see any of the marker beacon indications that should be appearing on the PFD. Come to think of it, I don't remember ever seeing such indications.

According to Page 22-133 of the PL21 Operator's Guide, they should appear on the left side of the PFD, as shown below from Page 22-134.



Is this something that isn't yet implemented, or is it operator error?

I don't ever recall seeing it myself. I assume you have your radios set properly? I will ask one of the devs to see if it is coded.

I just spoke with one of the developers, it is modeled so odds are you do not have something set correctly or the nav data or airport are incorrect. Have you tried at several airports?

I've flown to multiple airports, yes, but I'm unsure whether I've ever seen it appear before. The vast majority of my flights are flown into and out of KFSM, and I know just from experience that all other aircraft with marker beacon indicators correctly show the marker being detected on approach. I understand that the KA350i is not those other aircraft, but perhaps it might help to know that it works in other aircraft.

The quick flight I did last night when I noticed this was a simple flight taking off from RWY 07 at KFSM, heading to the FSM VORTAC, then setting up for the ILS 07 from the AWIJE transition back into KFSM. I can hear the OM at JEMBO as expected, but the OM indicator on the PFD never appears.

At least you hear it so the radio portion seems to work. Can you please try 1 or 2 more airports and let me know if there is any difference. If it still will not show I will bug the dev again. Thanks for your patience.

As you suggested, I've done a couple more similar tests. In the video below, the first clip is the ILS 25 at KFSM. The second clip is the ILS 05 at KHOT, and the third clip is the ILS 22 at KTXK. All of these airports have an outer marker, which can be heard in the video. No OM indicator on the PFD though.

I hope that helps shed a bit more light on the issue. If you need anything else, I'd be happy to provide it!

There was a small bug preventing it from displaying. It should be fixed in a future build. Thanks for the report.
