Also, I didn't mention it before because I thought it was me being stupid, but I can't get the ILS to come up on the HUD. As of right now, I don't think the Hornet HUD we've come to love is compatible with this new carrier.

Thanks Micro.
Since I haven't purchased this boat yet, so I am just guessing here. But, looking at Johan's post above, I noticed the line that says 'Frequency=109.00'.
Default hornet or T45 have their ILS/TCN set to 57X (112.00MHz). Did you try dialing in 109.00 (or 27X) and see if it works.
Mickey_Techy:
On second thoughts, as far as I knew (and I'm not a software person), the new Hornet HUD (versions of which are in use in stock hornet, T45, Sludge hornet and even BA bird) had the boats ILS/TCN hard coded into the HUD code. Atleast that is what I was given to understand. The ILS frequency of 112.00 was hard coded as part of the new HUD code. Maybe that's why that HUD is not picking up the Enterprise.
Folks like Orion, Neutrino, Jimmy or Sludge would be able to provide more accurate answers, I'm certain.

Mickey...
No worries, I got a few answers for ya. You are partially right. The "ICLS" is HUD hard-coded to work with Acceleration default/AICarriers (111.00) and Javier's carrier (112.00), it's JR's WORKAROUND for boats that couldn't have a moving ILS/TACAN installed. If this Enterprise has a working FSX ILS/TACAN "emitting" like a land station then all you have to do is FIND OUT what frequency its sending and dial it in and the jet will actually tune in and show you the ILS needles on the HUD and on the ADI panel. Just as in Johan's post, you can see in the XML coding that the "Foch" carrier has a freq of 109.00, so you'd just tune to 109.00 and the needles should come up.
Otherwise, JR would have to "revise" the HUD code to accept this carrier and apply his method to getting a ILS/TCN.

Johan:
According to the carrier.xml, the 4 Enterprise have each a different frequency as seen below in the extract. That makes things a little complicated.

Well, I tried all day to bring up the needles with the Enterprise; no go. Since they have the manual available for free I figured it couldn't hurt to post it here so you guys could have a look:http://www.attach2.com/Team_SDB/CVN-65_Manual_FSX.zip
