Limited RSBN navigation


Xxx

Recommended Posts

Dear fellow Beacon hunters.

 

 

I have managed to get a couple of RSBN beacons working, but the rest remain stubbornly off!

 

 

It seems that after aTACAN entry, I can not add a RSBN entry. Here is where I am stuck;-

 

 

My programming skills are none existant. So I think I will wait for one of you wiz kids to finish the job.

 

 

airdrome = {

TACAN(31, 'X', 'TSK', {x = -281653.7, z = 647182.6})

}

},

{

type = BEACON_TYPE_RSBN,

callsign = "SI",

frequency = 831000000.0,-- channel 31

channel = 31,

position = coordinates("42'14'25N 042'02'48E"),

},

 

 

Looks a mess doesn't it?

 

 

Hope you guys get the map done, then we can share some rep's!

 

 

Regards

David

David, in most cases, order of items has no matter. But elements nesting order is important.

 

That will be correct:

 

airdrome = {
TACAN(31, 'X', 'TSK', {x = -281653.7, z = 647182.6}),
    {
          type = BEACON_TYPE_RSBN,
          callsign = "SI",
          frequency = 831000000.0,-- channel 31
          channel = 31,
          position = coordinates("42'14'25N 042'02'48E"),
    },
}

 

First. comma after ')' and '}' is very important, you must separate every pair of opening and closing brackets, like that:

 

(
    --airdrome 1
   {
         -- some parms here dont foreget commas at the each parameter's end
         param1 = 'value',
         param2 = 'value2',
   },
   {
        -- other params here, etc
   }
),
(
   --airdrome 2
   --place whole params block and '{}' here 
),

 

Second, you must insert whole block of params insert inside brackets like shown up.

Third, commas after ecach param.

 

But some details may be changed in context of realisation, - I am mean that sometimes '()' or '{}' or even '[]' brackets must be used, last pair of brackets may no need comma after it.

So, you must always carefully look at existing ED's code before attempting to modify or add something in it - and write code absolutelly similar with it.

As my file is still not approved, I will add it here for now.

 

RSBNs for all airfields (no PRMG) on Caucasus map. Channels list is in the readme. Enjoy

 

I tested more then half of them and they seem to work fine, also tried in MP. If there is any problem let me know.

Just a small issue I noticed.

 

 

There is no PRMG Glideslope/Localiser at Krasnodar Centre? The RSBN works as before, but I can not get any PRMG signal.

 

 

I checked the frequencies in the Mod, and they show Ch. 38 for PRMG as they did in the original file.

 

 

Or is this just me?

 

 

Thanks.

 

 

David

I just did a quick offline test. Placed a L-39 on approach to KC. I did not see a glideslope while in the landing mode. What's more, my RSBN beacon appears to be located about 1 grid square to the west of KC. I can follow the RMI to the very small town west of the aiport. RSBN did not go all the way to the airfield before swinging around.

 

RSBN 40 PRMG 38.

Yes, the RSBN is working. I see the "approach through clouds" from a distance to 30 Km, then when switching to landing mode, when PRMG should take over, but there's no signal?

 

Its not the L39, since I have PRMG glideslope and localiser at the other so equipped airfields. The beacon number 38 is correct in the .lua. So it must be the location coordinate is off.

 

I have absolutely no luck with lua scripts and especially map coordinates, so its no use me trying to fiddle about with the lua.

 

The Mig 21 is spot on at all the airfields, for both RSBN/PRMG. But as I now realise, LN coded the functions into the Mig 21, so it doesn't use the map coordinates. Perhaps thats why they did it that way?:music_whistling:

Sorry I can't test it now, but I did not touch any default stations so the channels are same as before.

 

Also, what runway at KC were you landing on? There is PRMG only for runway 09. You can see this in mission editor.

 

Hello there.

 

Yes its runway 09. RSBN works ok. The Channel numbers match what I see in the .lua but there is no PRMG signal received in the L39?

 

I figured one of you more knowledgeable buy a would know?

 

I don't mess with any lua file! I can look at them but don't fiddle.

 

Regards

I think you need about 4 m/s from 090 to activate runway 09. You can confirm active runway on some fields by checking on which side the NDBs are active.

 

Note that the wind setting in the editor is strange, you select the direction the wind is blowing rather than where it's coming from...like the rest of the aviation world.

Excellent work!

 

 

All working! We can fly almost anywhere in NTTR in the Albatross, as well as the Mig 21.

 

 

Only a couple of things. Nellis could do with RSBN/PRMG and/or a Beacon.

 

 

Other than that, its possible to fly to any coordinates in NTTR using good old heading and distance from RSBN....Very Nice!

 

 

Cheers

Outstanding!

 

Location of this (these) file(s):

 

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World 2 OpenAlpha\Mods\terrains\Nevada

 

C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Mods\terrains\CaucasusBase

 

You can run both beacon mods as they are two separate installs.
