caponi Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Hi, i made a quick mission for navigation training ... one waypoint on Mozdok .. free flight behaviour. i set my RSBN to Channel 20 and Prgm to 22 ... then i flow per ADF (outer) to Gori ... NDB 462 khz i was over 200km away from Mozdok and behind the Caucasus mountains ... the RSBN and the distance counter has contact to Mozdok ... really true ? over Gori i turn to west to NDB Gali 525 khz ... And my ADF points to the outer beacon on Mozdok ... is also 525 khz. After reset my ADF i could connect to Gali. but my problem was at the landing on Mozdok. Mozdok ATC gave advice for RWY 08 ... but i could not get any landing information ... later ... after another try i have got advice to RWY 08 with no prgm information too. so i try the other RWY 26 ... And for my surprise the RSBN PRGM works fine ... what the hell was that ? in mission i have set wind direction from north east to south west 4kn ... RWY 08 should be the right runway ... too much ...

Ramsay Posted November 28, 2018 Share Posted November 28, 2018 (edited) TL;DR: You're encountering bugs in DCS 2.5.x • TACAN/RSBN isn't always blocked by line of sight • The ATC active runway and ILS/PRMG and inner/outer markers aren't always in step for moderate headwinds Detail: i was over 200km away from Mozdok and behind the Caucasus mountains ... the RSBN and the distance counter has contact to Mozdok ... really true ? I often picked up 'phantom' TACAN signals the wrong side of the Caucasus mountains, I guess the RSBN signal uses the same line of sight code and suffers the same issues. ... but my problem was at the landing on Mozdok. Mozdok ATC gave advice for RWY 08 ... but i could not get any landing information ... later ... i try the other RWY 26 ... And for my surprise the RSBN PRGM works fine ... ATC active runway and ILS/PRMG and inner/outer markers aren't always in step for moderate headwinds in mission i have set wind direction from north east to south west 4kn ... RWY 08 should be the right runway ... A 4 knot headwind (2 m/s) isn't sufficient to keep ATC and ILS/PRMG in step (usually around 3.5 m/s). Testing in DCS Open Beta 2.5.3.24436, 7 knots to 225°T, was and ATC RWY 08's inner/outer markers and PRMG were active.

caponi Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 i had increased wind from north east ... RSBN on RWY 08 worked fine ... a little bit confusing about ATC advice and electrical availibilty ... :music_whistling: happy training ... :smartass: too much ...

Alpenwolf Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 I think, ED is working on a better ATC. One that interacts with and reacts to the given circumstances. Or at least that was on the wishlist one time. Even when I'm on the ground, I can still tune my ADF to frequencies of antennas that are tens or hundreds of kilometers away and be able to receive a tone. Plus the RMI needle aligns perfectly in the assumed direction of that antenna. As Ramsay said, the line of sight is not always blocked in DCS. But I can only say that for the Caucasus map, because I'm 99% of the times there.

caponi Posted December 2, 2018 Author Share Posted December 2, 2018 i am careful ... but i think the line of sight for RSBN and ADF works fine in dcs 1.5 ... :music_whistling: may be a bug of 2.5 ? :cry: too much ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
