ILS and Runway in use

Hello,

in IMC its impossible to land if the runway in use has ILS only from the opposite direction.

The ILS signal should be activated always or, like in realistic, a option to request a landing on a other runway with ILS.

 

Use a backcourse approach if one is present for the runway you desire. You could also use an NDB approach as there are plenty of beacons in DCS. Don't attempt to use ILS at a field from the opposite end of the runway unless there is a localizer/ILS or backcourse approach available. Better to use an NDB or VOR/TACAN approach to minimums and see if the runway is in sight. If the runway is not in sight, you are not legally allowed to descend below minimums.

 

This being a sim, you can do as you please in IMC.

Back course approaches are the exception rather than the norm, and are not commonly found (read that as: pretty much non-existent) outside of the US. Modern localizers are directional to the point where there isn't much energy wasted to form a usable back course.
