Rolds Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 I've tried a few times but can't get the bars to show up for Nellis. I have gotten it to work for a few airfields in Caucuses. Has anyone been able to get it to work for any airfield in NTTR? Thanks!
Ramsay Posted October 8, 2018 Posted October 8, 2018 Tested Nellis AFB, RWY 21 with zero wind in DCS 2.5.3.22176 Couldn't get the AV-8B AWLS to work, though I've used it for Batumi, Kobuleti, etc. in the Caucasus. It looks like there's a problem with the AV-8B, as the A-10C picked up Nellis AFB's ILS without issue. Note: The AV-8B "AN_ARN128_config.lua" AWLS channel 13 frequencies look correct for Nellis, so it looks to be due to a difference between Caucasus and Nevada. i9 9900K @4.8GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 11 Pro x64, Odyssey G93SC 5120X1440

Great thanks for checking, I also found that I could get the Nellis ILS to work with A10C but nothing for the harrier.
Rolds Posted February 5, 2020 Author Posted February 5, 2020 Resurrecting this thread from the distant past, has anyone been able to get AWLS to work in Nevada? It works differently now, the channels are in the kneeboard and it still seems to work for caucuses but not NTTR.
sc_neo Posted February 5, 2020 Posted February 5, 2020 I recall that i had the exact same issue during summer of 2019. Thats exactly why EA sucks! It took me many hours to find out that this must be due to a bug and not due to me doing something wrong. One more issue that seems to not have been fixed for a very long time.

Enduro14 Posted April 22, 2020 Posted April 22, 2020 Why isnt Awls working now? Is anybody working on this bird to get it complete, i see great work on the mirage and honestly its quite impressive. Any hope for some love in Harrier realm? Intel 8700k @5ghz, 32gb ram, 1080ti, Rift S
Ramsay Posted April 23, 2020 Posted April 23, 2020 (edited) Why isnt Awls working now? It's working in the Caucasus map, just as it always has. The AV-8B AWLS in real life is the same system as ICLS and doesn't work with regular ILS. Razbam's implementation of AWLS is only compatible with ILS for gameplay reasons (though I wish it wasn't). IRL you'd fly a TACAN approach or perhaps use a AN/TPN-30 (or similar) for field carrier landing practice in Nevada. The fact that DCS's AV-8B AWLS doesn't work in Nevada doesn't take anything away from the aircraft's real life capability, it does mean though that it doesn't work as documented in the DCS manual.

Chump Posted April 24, 2020 Posted April 24, 2020 The ILS is declared in both Caucasus and Nevada as BEACON_TYPE_ILS_GLIDESLOPE and BEACON_TYPE_ILS_LOCALIZER, so I'm not sure why they work differently. I do find it interesting that in the AN_ARN128_config.lua it says for the World Map IDs, "2 == Nevada (Not Applicable)", yet the AWLS channels are defined for the Nevada airbases.
