Both our live and Training missiles had opaque seeker heads. Time wise 1983.

Yes

Magic I also had opaque seeker head ... ours certainly did

The max "trackable" angle off of 63degrees (as in the LUA) is demonstrably wrong as based on RW seeker tracking numbers. Having said that a very Broad brush Pilots employment rule of thumb that covered Fuzing and manoeuver capability in the BFM environment was: Rmax 1nm, Rmin 4Hm, Launch Angle off max 60degrees inside the turn, up to 70degrees angle off for belly shots ... bandit turning away from you.

IRL Magic I can still track front quarter as long as the IR source is still there and gimble limits are not exceeded. Fusing is obviously the issue with Magic I. Magic I seeker sensitivity was good enough to get lock at 90 degrees Angle Off on a Mil powered target 700deg C JPT at 2nm at medium altitude, so not sure what the 63deg aspect thing is about.

The Magic I min range versus Angle off was at the time of its introduction perhaps the best in the world with the Missile and gun envelope inside the turn overlapping.... like an Rmin at 55deg Angle off 4Hm with a 7G target.

Gutersloh RWY 27 No GS with the revised Beacons LUA Changing line 1281 so direction is the same as the Localizer direction produced a usable Glide Slope. Though looking at the airfield I don't believe a 3D GS object is there. 1281 direction = 100.552372; display_name = _(''); beaconId = 'airfield16_2'; type = BEACON_TYPE_ILS_GLIDESLOPE; callsign = 'GS'; frequency = 110700000.000000; position = { -232963.156250, 65.000065, -834887.187500 }; direction = 100.552372; <----- positionGeo = { latitude = 51.921502, longitude = 8.319185 }; sceneObjects = {'t:368312949'};

Danke grim_reaper68

Be interested to see the corrections in the LUA. just trying to understand this. My best guess is that currently the ILS GS antennas are at the far end of the runway when they should be at the near end and the course is wrong as well. By playing around I managed to get Frankfurt 25L and 25R to work with the correct GS rwy intercept point abeam the physical 25L/R 3D GS antenna objects. No such luck with 07L and 07R though I cant even get the LLZ's to work.

grim_reaper68 You can get Glide slopes at Frankfurt ??

Maybe unrelated or still under development but the DCS Web editor Purple rectangles at Frankfurt, Hannover , Leipzig Halle, Hannover EDDV are weird and not aligned with the underlay runways. Whats the basis of 21deg E central meridian for the projection ? Seems a long way E from the Map centre point. 21E is around Warsaw. I would have though a central meridian around 10 deg E would be better for this map ? In edition in the ME the underlying "MAP" view is based on the TPC which is a Lambert Conformal projection.

What year is the Map based on ?

Just looked at Frankfurt with Mission Date June, June 1991, June 1999, June 2024 Rwy 25R June 1991 Rwy 25R 260m 259T Variation 1 deg W June 1999 Rwy 25R 259m 259 T Variation 0 June 2024 Rwy 25R 256m 258 T Variation 2 deg E Jepp Chart 2013 lists RWY 25R as 248m with Variation 3.01E that implies 251T Google Earth 2025 measures RW25R as 249.63 T (some small measurement error by me possible) So True Heading of RWY's 25 in Frankfurt should be 251T

Interesting grim_reaper68 might explain why you get a momentary GS alive as you pass abeam the GS antenna on landing.
