RSBN question...

[BeachAV8R]

Is this the PMRG antennae or is it co-located with the RSBN vehicle? EDIT - It appears to be a GCA/PAR vehicle..

Actually - while we are at it - I'm a bit confused about these navaids as well:

 

 

Upper left looks like a traditional VOR/DME installation, upper right - is that a fixed PAR/GCA station? Bottom left - some sort of surveillance radar in a protective dome (?), and bottom right - fixed RSBN station maybe?

 

And then I found this old image of an RSBN model - but haven't seen any at any of the airfields. So are the RSBN/PMRG at airfields all fixed installations and is it possible to put a mobile RSBN station in a location with the Mission Editor?

 

 

So I guess what I'm really getting at is what is the vehicle or ground station that controls the RSBN/PRMG signal? Anyone know?

I think the four antenna has a Tacan antenna.

Now where is the pesky RSBN/PMRG facility? :helpsmilie:

In the MiG-21 module, RSBN/PRMG are listed in an independent file. You can put a RSBN anyway on the map, editing this file with a coordinates, codes and morse signal without a vehicle and this point will work as a RSBN/PRMG. There is no diference for the LN module.

 

The beacons.lua file, where the real RSBN/PRMG are defined and are asociated with vehicles, along with the TACA/VOR/ILS...is working only for ED/BST modules. Until we´ve got the L-39 module, we won´t have a proper RSBN/PRMG simulation.

 

I have a moded file with the RSBN/PRMG restricted to the Airbases that have it, along with a restricted 16 only signals (with Standard morse code, so you can listen the same morse code when you fly the Fagot or the Hokum, or the Huey) for the ARK-10, like the real 21.

I don't know if you can understand german. Here is a link to a website about the training of former nva (east german military till reunion 1990) pilot's. The systems are shown at the bottom of the following link:
