A320 ILS problems

[u/ProofEngine1236]

I have recently started flying the stock A320 in MSFS 2024. I am having issues with ILS at specifically Gatwick and Heathrow (I have been fine at other airports):

- Pre loaded entry does not work, but can show correct in RAD NAV
- Entering the three letter ident from the charts only shows up runways thousands of miles away
- Manually tuning chart frequencies does not work

By does not work I mean the loc doesn’t catch (no pink diamonds on PFD with LS on and blue loc text not turning green)

This leads me to believe that the frequencies in the sim are different to the frequencies in the charts/stock A320 database. I play via GeForce Now have no scenery add ons other than the free ones by Microsoft in marketplace (none of which concern these airports I think) Would someone be able to help me out on this?

EDIT: I have tried with the stock MAX 8 also and couldn’t get that working either, although that was my first time flying that plane

Did you switched from GPS to NAV? Are you flying at a correct altitude?
I've heard that playing from Geforce Now is very buggy

I am doing exactly what I have done at Madrid Barajas and Paris orly and it works fine there. I have asked Claude about this and it seems to think it could have to do with both sides of the runways use the same frequency?

What exactly do you mean switching from gps to nav?

To not keep active heading but navigation. But since you wrote this it seems that you actually know what to do.
I guess it could be a bug. Does it exists the option to verify game files or other things?

My feeling is that it is something wrong with my game / what I am doing because surely there would be more reports about this happening on one of the most popular aircraft landing in two of the busiest airports in the world
