  1. It seems like some people here are confusing frequency conversion and frequency pairing. VOR and TACAN are incompatible, but if the VOR is co-located with a DME, the frequencies are paired according to a table defined by ICAO. Unlike VOR, DME and TACAN are partially compatible, so a DME equipped aircraft can get the distance (but not bearing) to a TACAN beacon, and vice versa. The same goes for ILS, where you just input the localizer frequency, and the glide path (and DME, if appliccable) frequencies are set automatically.
  2. 114.9 MHz is a VOR frequency, and can't be used for ILS. The highest available localizer frequency is 111.95 MHz.
  3. 110.10MHz is a localizer frequency, and is thus invalid for VORs.
  4. Make sure you have a headwind of >5kt for the runway direction equipped with ILS.
  5. Backcourse approaches aren't really a thing anymore outside the US. Modern ILS systems use highly directional antenna systems, and the back lobe of the array is so marginal that it can't be used for backcourse approaches.
  6. So you want Razbam, who were not involved in making the DCS F/A-18C, to make a F/A-18D instead of the F-15E that they are actually working on? That's the only way your post would make any sense. The alternative would be that you don't understand that ED and Razbam are separate companies, with their own products.
  7. The localizer frequency for two opposing runway ends are almost never the same. The UK is the only place I can think of that does this on a regular basis.
  8. You'd be hard pressed to find a single fact in all of his 4.6k posts. I'm not trying to tell the mods how to do their jobs, but the fact that there have been no consequences for sabotaging countless serious discussions is beyond my comprehension. His delusional ramblings are basically forum poison.
  9. We have seen multiple times (e.g. with the Hind) that the OP is completely unwilling (or unable) to listen to the advice given, so trying to help him is simply a waste of time.
  10. Yay CGI. Exactly what every sequel to a bad eighties film needs...
  11. None of the examples you mentioned were developed by Boeing. Both the AH-64 and the F/A-18 were inherited from McDonnell-Douglas after the merger.

  13. The big question is: who has the nicest mag? The CPG or pilot?
  14. A gentleman is a man who can play the accordion, but choses not to.
  15. I have been looking around the cockpit in the model viewer, and the level of detail of the M4 model is impressive (maybe even a bit excessive). Even parts that are invisible from the outside (like the top cartridge in the magazine and the locking lugs on the barrel extension/bolt) are modelled. Now let's just wait for some rivet counter to complain about that the primer is too large, and that the barrel extension is rotated 22,5° CCW
  16. Switching your stable install to open beta will consume a marginal ammount of disc space compared to the update you need to download to get the Apache.
  17. To be fair, that looks better than every single film Michael Bay ever directed.
  18. The best way of using an SA80 is probably dropping it on the enemy from high altitude
  19. ...and the area between Ein Shemer (which is basically as far south the detailed part if the map currently goes) and the and the Negev desert is famously completely empty, devoid of all signs of population?

  22. While the coordinates don't match the AIP, the location of the 3d mdoel for the DVOR, and the beacon entry for the DME, isn't that far off what it should be referenced to airport features like runway thresholds etc. The beacons.lua entry for the DVOR is, of course, totally wrong, and should be placed where the 3d model (and the DME) is. Google earth measurements show that the DVOR is located ~135m offset from a point ~670m along the extended centerline on RWY31L (measured from the threshold). The same measurements in the mission editor are 128m and 629m. So it's close enough if you're using the DVOR+DME to find the airport for a non-precision landing. That being said, the beacons for the PG map have been a mess from day one, with invalid ILS frequencies (fixed now?), missing ILS from Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Kaimah and Al Bateen, etc.
