Looney Posted October 25, 2015 Share Posted October 25, 2015 Having edited the ARK.lua file to include Tblisi Lochini airport, I went ahead and used the Outer beacon as reference to fly an approach. However, regardless of how I fly, if I chase the needle, I end up hundreds of meters to the west of the actual Beacon location. The screenshot below shows me on runway 31L with the ADF channel set to the beacon, however, my heading is on the yellow marker and thus my nose points towards the beacon, it's not where it is supposed to be. Can anyone confirm this? This is 1.2.16 we're talking about, I can't run the shark on 1.5 yet...

Reaper6 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 (edited) What is the position of your beacon mode switch?(Remember that "AUTO" mode is not implemented) The ADF is merely homing in on a radio signal, so in theory the closer you are the more accurate it is. If you were to park right next to the Beacon it should be the most accurate. It's not really meant for precision landings as in ILS, just to get you in the general vicinity. If you are looking for precise landing, as in night or horrible weather conditions. Your best bet is to program the "final" and beginning of the runway. And then use the HSI function of the ABRISS.

Reaper6 Posted October 26, 2015 Share Posted October 26, 2015 Hey Reaper6 is that really you the Reaper6 from the old C4 times? I am Falcito the best Friend from °Rotor° CFS (rest in enclose)! Probably not, I don't know what C4 is?

Looney Posted October 26, 2015 Author Share Posted October 26, 2015 I'va got the ARK-22 set to channel 1 which is Lochini and the inner/auto/outer switch set to outer. It points in the direction of the beacon, no doubt and when I'm on yop of the beacon, it still shows west. So I chase the needle slowly and a few hundred meter west of the beacon location on the map, I see the needle change to the east.

TheSnark Posted October 27, 2015 Share Posted October 27, 2015 That does sound like an actual bug. Note that for precise navigation the ADF is not really suited, it has a bearing uncertainty of 1.5 degree and a maximum rotation speed of 30 degree per second.
