This is the in-game panel version as addon for Microsoft Flight Simulator.
This version also works in VR.
INSTALLATION
- If running, end MS Flightsimulator.
- Unzip the folder "zero-smartils" completely into Your Community folder
Example for the Microsoft-store-version:
C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community
- You have to have an internet connectsion
- Start MS Flightsimulator
- Start a flight
- Move Your mouse in the center of the upper screen to make the quick menu visible
- click on the red ILS icon
- ENTER an ICAO code of an airport
- if your search results show runways with ILS, you can set the airplane's NAV radios frequencies with the blue buttons.
All Airports of MS FS 2020 that have ILS are included (SU 7 11/2021).
Type in the ICAO code of the airport and you will get the data of runways with ILS.
Click on NAV1 or NAV 2 to set the frequency in MS Flightsimulator into the standby radio.
Check "Set active instead standby radio" to set the frequency into the active radio instead.
Option to report wrong or missing data by using "Report Data".
You will need to sign up with the website to report data.
When a number of user-corrections was reviewed, a new database version will be released.
Edit:
Added a virtual keyboard to prevent problems with the in-game keyboard shortcuts an d to make it more usefull for VR.
Now it keeps Your settings even when You end MS Flight Simulator.
Enable link-behavior on the frequency value (a click sets NAV1). Show/hide NAV1/NAV2 buttons. The font size can be switched in two sizes to match Full-HD or 4k screen resolutions. You also can choose a background color and switch the font colour between black and white.
There is also a stand-alone Windows-app version:

The ILS tool is what I've been looking for for a long time. Thanks for the great work.
Would it be possible to search for city names in addition to the ICAO search field?
ICAO = LSZH
City names = Zurich
Greetings Peter

VR Toolbar version needs added "NAV2" button like the other versions, for airliners.

Downloaded and installed today 23 Aug 2022. MSFS latest edition (no beta). Software loads, but the moment you start to type ICAO Id for an airport, view changes to outside rear view of aircraft, joystick inputs are largely disabled and the aircraft is frozen with sound working on the runway. I tried it with out any other addon, same effect. Brilliant idea thought. Much needed.

Just wanted to say thank you and ask why does the user need an internet connection when it's using the msfs 2020 datbase? Best regards.

Because I extracted it to an internet based database.

Hi, may I ask you what kind of database did you use?
Thank you

This is the MSFS built-in ILS database.

Great job, thanks.
I wanted to ask you if the data you extract them from the current navdata of the simulator or have they been loaded previously so they can be updated with your new mod?
Thank you
Grazie mille
Giampa_PoL
Aahh, ok, I saw you hook up to an ICAO and frequency research site. Excellent choice if the site is always up to date.
Thanks again

i injoy this file, could you also do one that will show vor/dme frequencies?
Abtzero author
I am thinking of it. Buit the NAVpoint extraction of all Navaids aout of the Microsoft data is way more work!

Could you create a separate mod with a virtual keyboard? That would be fantastic for VR!
