ILS: synthetic RWY overly on the HUD is missing

in ILS landing mode the synthetic RWY overly on the HUD is missing. The normal CDI display is ok.

In the mission editor I have set the last INS waypoint as to the beginning of the RWY.

I have followed exactly chucks guide and the detailed youtube tutorial of "creative fun".

Am I missing anything?

Set the last WP as landing, and make sure the airfield you are landing at, has ILS.

Worked for me the other day in 1.57.

It has to be set as a "landing" waypoint. You should see the waypoint icon snap to the center of the airfield.

thanks, Maulkin, last WPT has to be set to the center of the RWY and to be defined as "landing".

It actually doesn't have to be set to the center of the runway. Just set to landing and it will snap to the center of the nearest runway automatically.

Now I know what „snap“ means and how snapping works. It’s easier than I thought.

But “airport landing snapping” works for entering a landing airport in the mission editor only, or?

This remains the question: How to enter a landing airport to the INS?

Of course, I can enter the coordinates of the airport as WYPT to the INS. Fine. But how can I tell the INS computer that this WYPT is for landing?

Only when the WYPT has been defined as "landing" the synthetic RWY overlay appears on the HUD, or?

For the moment you can't have the synthetic runway from a waypoint created in the aircraft, it's a missing feature.

"XYZ is missing" - one and the same question every month or two.

Why the pinned topic "M2000 missing features list" is not exist after 4 months since module release?

I simple forum search would answer those questions, but it looks like people don't know it exist.

It's o.k. with me, just want to be sure that I haven't overseen anything.

Set final waypoint as landing type in the Mission Editor.

Tune ILS to airport frequency and turn system on ("M")

Select landing waypoint as destination

With master arm and cannon arm off, press "APP" on the PCA and you should be good to go!

Set final waypoint as landing type in the Mission Editor.

Yes, thanks, works now. WPT has to be "LANDING" type.

Yes, thanks, works now. WPT has to be "LANDING" type.

But this setting works in mission editor only.

With INS it's not (yet) possibble to assign a WPT as "LANDING" type.

No problem, I can live as it is now.

I agree, who dares to open it? It will get full quite fast...

This is a joke. It's an imaginary way and not how this works in the real Mirage. Why RAZBAM do not develop this functionality properly? Landing waypoint... mission editor... Come on, seriously? A pilot should be able to program this from the cockpit without any DCS toy landing waypoints and mission editors.

Is... is this still the case? This thread was last active a year ago...

Yes, according to the manual this is still the case which I find ridiculous.
