Yes, it is. Latakia = Khmeimim/Bassel al-Assad

Here are all the new airfields I could find in the map screenshot: Cyprus: Paphos RAF Akrotiri Larnaca Kingsfield Gecitkale Ercan Lakatamia Nicosia Pinarbashi Turkey: Gazipasa Gaziantep Syria: Deir-ez-Zor Tiyas Shayrat Sayqal

Bringing facts to an internet argument is borderline unsportsmanlike conduct :P

Just ignore him. Subs is on a reality-free diet, so don't expect any other proof than "god told me". Case in point (in addition to his post history on the forums), check out @ArkangelDaniel1 on twitter.

APKWS isn't spin-stabilized. The control surfaces on the front wings stop the rolling momentum after the wings deploy.

If you are comfortable with editing your beacons.lua, the following lines will add VORTAC and ILS to Ramat David. Note that this will break IC, so keep a backup of beacons.lua for multiplayer use. -- Ramat David VORTAC { display_name = _('RAMATDAVID'); beaconId = 'airfield30_1'; type = BEACON_TYPE_VORTAC; callsign = 'RMD'; frequency = 113700000.000000; channel = 84; position = { -259140.859375, 40.595511, -74983.906250 }; direction = 0.000000; positionGeo = { latitude = 32.666274, longitude = 35.185461 }; sceneObjects = {'t:153027415'}; }; -- Ramat David LOC 33 { display_name = _('RamatDavid'); beaconId = 'airfield30_2'; type = BEACON_TYPE_ILS_LOCALIZER; callsign = 'RD'; frequency = 110300000.000000; position = { -257893, 41.7576, -75916 }; direction = 146.59; positionGeo = { latitude = 32.677197, longitude = 35.175058 }; sceneObjects = {'t:000000000'}; chartOffsetX = 2682; }; -- Ramat David GP 33 { display_name = _('RamatDavid'); beaconId = 'airfield30_3'; type = BEACON_TYPE_ILS_GLIDESLOPE; callsign = 'RD'; frequency = 110300000.000000; position = { -259813, 42.0624, -74501 }; direction = 146.59; positionGeo = { latitude = 32.660375, longitude = 35.190856 }; sceneObjects = {'t:000000000'}; chartOffsetX = 120; };

It isn't. It's a core DCS issue.

To quote ICAO Annex 10 volume 1, the international standard for radio navigation aids: Generelly speaking, you'll never have ILS systems in both runway ends radiating at the same time. The problem with DCS is that the ILS interlock logic doesn't follow the active runway logic. A headwind of >7kts is required for the ILS to be activated, which is wrong.

Yes. Here it is: https://www.google.com/maps/place/25%C2%B001'38.0%22N+55%C2%B023'44.0%22E/@25.0271713,55.3952908,254m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x0:0x0!8m2!3d25.0272222!4d55.3955556 Specifically, this is a VORTAC, where a TACAN is co-located with a DVOR. The TACAN antenna (e.g. dB Systems 900-series) sits on top of a fiberglass structure that typically covers the central alford loop antenna used for the DVOR carrier. The DVOR carrier atenna is the same type as the 48 sideband antennas, so it's very easy to differentiate between a VOR/DME and a VORTAC with decent aerial/satellite photos.

Isn't the L-39 multicrew?

There are around 200 in service according to Fight International's world air forces 2020 (I'd love to link to it, but it seems to have been put behind a paywall since the last time I checked it). Some may have been retired since waf2020 was published, but there are still many left.

Except when dealing with AI JTACs. Currently, there is no way of telling the JTAC which code to use. Fixing that issue is a prerequisite before removing the in-flight code change workaround.

If there is ILS at a site it's easy to add ICLS, since the coordinates of the beacons are already given in beacons.lua. Once the coordinates are known, all you need to do is to define a channel and frequency. Actually, I haven't checked if both a channel and frequency is necessary. The reason why I'm not sure of this is that the function for calculating calculating channel frequencies in DCS is 15415000000 + 30000000 * ((channel - 1) % 10), which wraps around after channel 10 (given by the modulo operator), giving the same frequency for channel 1 and 11, 2 and 12 etc. Adding a cmpletely new beacon requires more work, as described here. The process is the same for all landing aids (ILS, PRMG, ICLS): https://forums.eagle.ru/showpost.php?p=4490548&postcount=46 TonyG has made a similar mod for the Caucasus map: https://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=227653

1st post updated with DL url.

You forgot to add "while carrying an underslund tetrapod or 40ft shipping container". The Mi-8 gets my vote.

Progress report: All ICLS beacons have ben added. 6 out of the 11 beacons have been tested. Here's a screenshot of a test flight at Khmeimim/Bassel Al-Assad, RWY 17R:

No.

As a follow-up to my old Persian Gulf beacon mod, I have started working on a similar mod for the Syria map. The planned features (so far) are: ICLS beacons for all runways that currently have ILS TACANs colocated witht the GP beacons, giving distance to the touchdown point. The TACAN channel will be paired with the LOC freq. All VOR-DME beacons will be converted to VORTAC. Are there any known ILS sites that are missing from the map? I'm open to user requests, so if there's something you would like added I'll look into it when the points mentioned above are finished. Here's a quick preview, with an ICLS approach to Beirut RWY 16: Download here: https://github.com/adler357/DCS-Syria

Sorry. Typo. Kts is correct.

The wind threshold is >7 kts.

The minimum windspeed threshold for ILS interlock is a DCS issue, not not a map issue. ED have been aware of this for a long time and it will hopefully be fixed when the ATC system get an overhaul in the future.

Do you mean these?
