ICLS/TACAN Beacon mod

[TonyG]

Following in the footsteps here of drPhibes, I've worked up this modified beacon.lua file for the Caucasus map. Credit to him for figuring this out and sharing the method, I've done no more than copy his method

 

This adds ICLS channels to all the airports that previously had an ILS or a PRMG approach with glideslope, and adds TACANs to those airports as well. Anapa and Gelendzhik also received TACANs.

 

I expect this won't pass the IC. I have tested this on my system with no issues, but make sure you back up your original lua file before trying this out. Updates will write over this file.

 

I ran approaches to all the airports to check them, but I may have missed something. Let me know if there are any issues or errors.

Nice! I started on a similar project some time ago, but I never got around to finishing it (that reminds me that I really need to update my PG mod with a few new beacons). I was planning on adding all the missing navaids for the Russian airbases (many of which have regular ILS in addition to PRMG/RSBM), but I never got any further than gathering the required nav charts form the Russian AIP. Too little time and too many hobbies, I guess...

 

 

 

Anyway, keep up the good work!

Nice work! Would love to see this incorporated into DCS as a Mission Editor option.

Was trying to add to Deir ez-Zor Airport in syria.  Having issues can anyone check my work ? Not sure why its showing up in the water.  Ran through a Coordinate Conversion website.  

 

    
       {
               display_name = _('DEIR_EZ-ZOR');
               beaconId = 'airfield42_2';
               type = BEACON_TYPE_ILS_LOCALIZER;
               callsign = 'DZ';
               frequency = 110300000.000000; 
               position = { -026031, 217.932, -88110 };
               direction = 109.10;
               positionGeo = { latitude = 35.290706, longitude = 40.158136 };
               sceneObjects = {'t:000000000'};
               chartOffsetX = 2682;
       };

Also does the Glideslop location need to be near approach end or right on the TDZ ? How does DCS Need it located . 
Thanks

Hello!

Does anyone know if there is a ICLS-mod for the Syria map?

(Like the ones for Caucasus and NTTR)

If there is, where can I find it?

That had been nice to use with the F-18C module since the F-18C don´t have/use ILS...

 

Best regards:
