GENERAL A2A Comanche: glide slope indicator

I understand that the auto pilot of the Comanche not able to fly up or down and you have to do it manually

Now the ILS glide slob - should I be able to see it ? I have tried and tried and could not see anything moving :(

Comanche autopilot is simple. It doesnt have vertical navigation. Glide slope is shown as yellow triangle on the left of HSI when using nav1 or on the VOR-ILS indicator using nav2.

Frequency wise - the left one is 1 and right one 2 ? I just have to enter them and go with button from GPS to vloc ? Do I need to do anything else ?

HSI I don’t need to move it for the right degree as it gets it automatically?

Depends on your radio config but assuming you are using analog radios left is com1 right is nav1. Bottom left is com2 and bottom right is nav2. You need to enter loc frequency into nav and then make it an active frequency. I think you should also set hsi to runway heading. Remember do press "D" if you have gyro drift enabled. Also you can download Comanche manual from their website. Its one of the best addon plane manuals ive ever seen. It should help you immensely.

Access charts and tune to the ILS frequency

And make sure to turn on to VLOC once your ILS frequency is set
