AWLS course sensing reversed

[acdelta57]

Flying a few AWLS approaches I noticed the localizer is deflecting in the opposite direction. Example Aircraft left of course, LOC needle deflected to left when it should be right and vice versa. Check screenshots

 

 

 

Kobuletti airfield AWLS CH1 Tacan 67X

 

The GS and LOC needles represent the approach correctly but like I said when intercepting to track the Course needle deflects opposite.

I think this post needs bumping. I agree that the localizer needle in the HUD is ass backwards and appears to never have been fixed. You always fly to the line not the line to the fpm. The fpm is the plane and the line shows the direction from the fpm or waterline TO the ILS indicator.

Why do you think that, the AWLS localizer was fixed a while ago (IIRC 2.5.1 ?).

The AWLS system is still not correct in the Harrier.

 

The Glideslope seems to work correctly, but the Localizer is still bassakwards.

 

Should work like the picture here, you fly to the needles.

Instead, it works like you're flying an ILS Backcourse.

The picture is what I see in game.

 

• AV-8B left of the localizer, the HUD azimuth bar is right of the VV

• AV-8B right of the localizer, the HUD azimuth bar is left of the VV

 

In my previous screenshot composite, I was always above the glide slope and left of the runway centre line, so the HUD glide slope and azimuth bars were always below and right of the VV.

 

 

Please explain what's wrong by posting a DCS 2.5.2 track or screenshot.

 

When the beam is acquired, a vertical azimuth steering bar and a horizontal elevation steering bar are displayed (see Figure 23-10).

 

Both bars are referenced to the velocity vector in the NAV mode and to the vertical flightpath symbol in the VSTOL mode. The azimuth bar represents aircraft azimuth angle fromthe localizer and the horizontal bar represents elevation angle fromglideslope.

 

Full deflection of the steering bars on the HUD represents ±2° for elevation and ±6° for azimuth. Azimuth steering reference marks are provided adjacent to the velocity vector/vertical flightpath symbol when the AWLS steering mode is selected. The reference markers denote 3° and 6° steering deviation (left and right).

Confirm NAV Mode Azimuth direction is correct

[Thudster]

You are absolutely correct. I missed it.

:thumbup:

Just went back in and yup - I'm flat wrong - it's correct now.

Happy to be screwed up on this one lol.
