How ILS is implemented in DCS F-15C

[speedbird5]

This is a suggestion on how the ILS implementation might be improved in the Flaming Cliffs F-15 and other aircraft where an ILS frequency cannot be tuned on an ILS receiver.

 

1. Survey all ILS serving all runways in DCS and ensure that their glideslope is 3 degrees, the GPI (glideslope point of intercept) is 1000 feet from the threshold and the TCH (threshold crossing height) is 50 feet. This is the standard real world implementation.

 

2. For aircraft where it is not possible to tune an ILS frquency and set a front course (such as the F-15C), then perhaps a Navigation Menu should be implemented so that you can select the airport, then select the runway and then the ILS for that runway.

 

3. Implement a unique identifier for each ILS which displays on the HUD. For example, the ILS at Batumi might have an identifier such as IBAT (In the real world, this is how ILS are identified e.g the identifier for Runway 28L in KSFO, is ISFO) . If a runway has an ILS at each end then unique identifiers would have to be assigned.

Right on speedo! I have an another idea for an experiment regarding the ILS in the F-15 and I will let you know what I find. Regardless of my results, your suggestions are the right way to do it.
