A10C ILS


Zarma

Recommended Posts

In 2.5, on Caucasus at least, the ILS doesn't seem to work.

 

Tried on Kobuleti, Senakhi and Kutaisi, with M2K and A10C, never got the signal or tone.

 

Haven't tried other planes/airfield.

 

Anyone else noticed that ?

I've noticed it too, Was flying in thick fog and almost deadsticked it into the field next to kobuleti because i never picked up the TACAN or ILS beacons.

A10C - Block 5+7, AV8B/NA Harrier, F-14B.

Have you made any local changes to beacons.lua file that carried over from the previous version? I had similar issue when I used the old file from 1.5.8, TACAN did not work correctly.

I've been dabbling with the ILS at Nellis in the A-10C and I've discovered that you have to be unusually close and uncomfortably low to get both Localizer and Glideslope to play nice...

 

The signal should be much stronger with at least Localizer acquisition out to 10+ miles...

 

You should be able to comfortably acquire the glideslope in level flight at 8,000' and not down at 3,000'...

No I havent. Is your ILS working ?

Did not check ILS, but that fixed my TACAN issue. Will check the ILS next time I fly the A-10.

Kobuleti ILS

 

Got the current update (2-6-18 date) and flew an A-10C mission, not ILS working at Kobuleti. Tacan works fine. I haven't tried any other bases yet. Red off flags on both glideslope and localizer on channel 111.5. Don't recall hearing an ID signal either. Channel selected, ILS selected and indicater bars selected.

ILS is also not working for runway 31 at Tblisi (at least not on the 108.9 frequency). Runway 13 works fine

I haven't been able to pick up the localizer beam for Kutaisi to save my life between the A-10C, M2000C, or the Harrier.

 

Some airfields seem to work. I'm able to find the beam @ Batumi no issues in Harrier and M2000C..just landed m2000c via ILS at Mineralnye-Vody. Haven't checked either with the A-10C. I'm wondering if wind direction is throwing Kutaisi or even runways with only 1 beam pointing one way even when ATC is guiding you in from that direction.

 

In the AV8B it's like I'm still getting AWLS signal in the EHSD + heading and distance to Kutaisi but on approach getting no beam and therefore missing the guidance info on the hud. I'm also being

sure to contact the tower every time. No needles in the A-10C. I probably won't be testing every single runway.. but if anybody feels like it it'd be interesting to know if it's the wind throwing off runways with beacons pointing towards only one end.

Do to prevailing winds some small air fields only put ILS on one runway heading.

 

Such as Kutaisi.. but the point being made by my post is that for some reason I'm not catching beams there.. on that specific runway heading.

I want to bump this whole thread...

 

The ILS's and NDBs at various airfields on Cauc are bugged.. (I tested this with A10C, Mirage and also the Harrier AWLS is bugged at the same airfields).

For NDB's, i tried The Mi8.

 

I wish to emphasize that the 3 airfields listed that don't have a working ILS are the same that don't have working NDB's and whatever the harrier AWLS uses - but tacans work fine.

 

Most airfields with it installed work fine (i know for sure Batumi, Nalchick, Sochi do) But the airfields named below are bugged together with their corresponding NDB's (the tacans work fine regardless).

 

Kob, Kuts, Senaki are 3 I know dont work, even slightly, its as if both the ILS for the airfield, as well as NDB's are completely disabled, or someone accidentally swapped the freqs.

 

I also have the Vegas and PG maps - all those freqs, in so far i used, work fine.

. . . . . . .

Every module/ map except the dual winged joke.
