Homing beacon, how does it work?

I have tested it in the Anton yesterday and it works in Caucasus. I dont know if the airfields on Normandy have ILS beacons. Still looking into that and glad if anyone can provide information.

I do know now. They don't.

Oh well, that's unfortunate. It's a pretty cool and useful system.

Yep! There is an outdated mod, but that adds all kinds of modern beacons to the map. I saw that with moose you can build your own beacons - not sure if you could do a proper implementation for the German ILS beacons tho, since left beacon needs to send another sound than right beacon and they would need to overlap when the aircraft is in the cross section of both beams.

I might fiddle around with it over the weekend - see whats possible.
