    after October update, the ILS RWY31 was changed from 108.90 to 107.70. However you can not even set the ILS frequency to 107.70, RWY31 activated by the way.

    Right, 107.7 is an invalid frequency for an ILS. This regression is reported.

    FYI the AIP link is now broken though.

    The latest domestic AIP can always be found here: https://www.gov.il/he/Departments/Guides/aip?chapterIndex=1

    The link in question says "פמ"ת בקובץ יחיד - הורדה" ("PMT in a single file - download", according to Google Translate).

    That being said, the current direct link to the PDF is here: https://www.gov.il/BlobFolder/guide/aip/he/aip_Full PAMAT 3-23.pdf

    Had a similar issue. As posted there is a problem with duplicate TACAN channels on this map. I think I found a fix for it: If you navigate to: 

    C:\Program Files\Eagle Dynamics\DCS World OpenBeta\Mods\terrains\Sinai

    (or wherever you have your main DCS install) and open the beacons.lua file in a text editor you can see alle the beacons.

    I altered the "96" value on Hatzerim to the correct "100" that caused a conflict because "96" was also used on Wadi al Jandali. The section to look for is:

    display_name = _('Hatzerim');
            beaconId = 'airfield7_0';
            type = BEACON_TYPE_VORTAC;
            callsign = 'BRA';
            frequency = 114900000.000000;
            channel = 96; 
            position = { 131543.724991, 208.862773, 329208.708252 };
            direction = 104.503260;
            positionGeo = { latitude = 31.234946, longitude = 34.679870 };
            sceneObjects = {'t:361406851'};

    In the section above, change channel=96; to channel=100;

    Hatzerim TACAN will now be displayed correctly in the hornet (and any other aircraft that use tacan I presume)

    I don't know if duplicate TACANs on this map affects all TACAN use, but its worth a try.

    Tested in both multiplayer and singleplayer.

     

     

    Just to be clear, while this will "fix" it in the sense that you can then use the TACAN, the problem is not actually with the Hatzerim TACAN. It is confirmed to be on 96X by Israeli Air Force documentation.

    It's rather the Wadi Al Jandali TACAN that is either on the incorrect channel, or (in my opinion more likely) it should not exist at all, as there is no antenna visible on real world satellite images where the Wadi TACAN is placed in game.

    So yes, while this is an interim "fix" you can do for yourself in the moment, this should not be the long term solution to be implemented for the map as a whole.

    Your GPS coordinates aren't all that precise, a Track file will give them the exact spot.  IIRC, it could be anywhere within a hundred feet of that spot.

    An excellent point actually. DMS coordinates without decimal seconds as given here are only accurate to about 30 meters (in latitude, with longitude precision differing depending on the latitude but let's not get into that right now), which is 100ft as you say.

    Ramat David technically has the glideslope in the game files, but it seems broken/misaligned. (And been like this for several years.)

    Correct, and it has been reported. I'll see if it can be bumped again.

  6. I agree with Minsky that you should supply a track, or at the very least tell us which specific TACAN channels you're seeing this on. Sinai currently has multiple duplicate TACAN channels (all reported I believe), so if you're on one of them you may be seeing different TACAN stations "fighting" with each other.

    I would think it would be OK if a sim org could use them freely but best to be sure!

    I wouldn't really be concerned with sim organizations (like virtual squadrons) using them without proper licensing, likely nobody is gonna care. But shipping them as part of a commercial product would be another thing.

    Do you have the plate for the "southern" LLHB runways by chance?  I'm not as familiar with Israeli ATC practices having flown in to Tel Aviv a couple of times in the Herc.  Hazerim does not appear to be a joint-use complex based on GE imagery. "Kedem" is a very built up hard-surfaced runway now. Wonder how or why a 2023 Nav Database provider has it coded as LL1A?  For now, given your approach plate, I'd say all 3 runways should be considered part of LLHB complex. I can't see a clearly marked taxiway connecting the two, but there are several roads to and from.

    I have some approach charts, including the visual circuit chart for Hatzerim "proper", yeah, see below. Hatzerim is not a joint-use complex (if you mean mil/civ by that). Hatzerim and Kedem are both military, as I understand it's one installation with two airfields. Kedem in the north being used for the IAF flight training, Hatzerim main field being a "proper" military airfield. There is no taxiways between the two, aeronautically they are two distinct airfields (albeit apparently share the same ICAO according to the data I have), they even have separate towers.

    I'm looking at May 2023 AIP but see no mnullention of it.  As several Sinai maps are abandoned, finding historical data is a challenge.

    See this Israeli Air Force visual circuit chart for Kedem, dated 2017:

    Kedem.png

    Note it is clearly designated "Kedem", with ICAO LLHB.

    See also the "CTR Kedem" on these enroute charts from the Israeli AIP:
