[FIXING] ILS issues include Persian Gulf?

[Deano87]

Hey all. I seem to be having some ILS issue on Persian Gulf map. I can setup an ILS fine in Cauc but in PG none of the airbases which I know have ILS seem to work as you would expect. I can land at the same bases with the F-16 ILS system with no problem. Anybody know what I’m doing wrong?

Is this jf17 related or a general query?

JF-17 related... I can ILS other aircraft in PG without issue. Thats why I posted it here lol.

Caucasus map has wrong ILS too.

 

Kutaisi airport shows ILS 18 (180°) on approach page instead of 08 (074°Magnetic) and so glide bars don't work. FAF is correct on both sides.

 

3 approach modes are ILS/SCA/TCN, what does SCA mean ?

SCA means approach with eyeballs :)

It’s issue of DCS API, reported internally

OK thanks for SCA and ILS channel, after reading the updated Chuck's guide it's all clear. :thumbup:

 

Also I found why ILS was not working at Kutaisi in my mission. It's simply because of wind direction. The opposite runway direction is in service and so the game deactivates ILS on runway 08... :doh:
