[NOTED] PRMG problem

[Virun]

Hello, I have a problem with landing by using the PRMG mode. It looks like it shows wrong data. Look at first screenshot: I flew straight to the runway and it shows that I need to go right. Why? And look at other screenshots: I flew to the right of the runway and it shows that it's normal path of approach. Looks like a bug. Or maybe I'm doing something wrong?

You're doing everything fine. On some airports PRMG signals line You up quite correctly, on others they don't (it also depends on landing direction, for example approach for runway 30 on Min Vody is more or less OK, but 12 is waaay off). Some say it's caused by antennas layout on chosen airport, but I cannot confirm it.

The coord for Sochi defined in mig-21 is 43.44361 39.94028, and if you use google map you can that the localizer (If my guess is correct, the localizer and glide slope signal source is defined as the same one in mig-21 nav system) is off rwy which reflects similar results.

 

if you use

lat = 43.441271,
long = 39.931017,

as the loc of Sochi in R_NAV_data.lua, then, no such issue

There is something in the manual about that. I think it is a feature, not a bug. Something about the transmitter for the signal being a little beside the runway, not actually on it. A degree or two offset is normal.

what you said is GS antennas (off rwy). The localizer should be on the extension line of rwy, so shouldn't be any deviation.

I don't know. There should be something in the trainingsmissions at least!

I have exactly the same issue.

Sounds strange if this is actually a game feature :huh:
