[OLD BUG REPORTS] Cleaning and Organization of old posts

I don't have any type of ILS brand either in the HUD or in the artificial horizon. It just doesn't work

It just doesn't work

 

As asked, please post a track or mission file, otherwise we are just guessing.

 

Here's a track of me landing a Senaki with a 8 knot headwind in 2.5.5.34864

 

Comments

 

The ILS HUD indication (as modelled) is a raw ILS error indication, not a flight director - so if you don't anticipate it's motion, you'll over shoot the localizer/glide slope.

 

Senaki RWY 09 = 89°M, so I look to line up the TACAN needle on 89°M and adjust my heading +/- 10° to correct for the ADI ILS needle.

 

I keep overshooting the center line but get there in the end (there's a light crosswind).

 

2.5.x Issues to be aware of

 

• Mission lighting and weather was made for 1.5, so isn't optimised for 2.5

• Ground wind speed and direction was adjusted to get RWY 09's ILS to work in 2.5.x

• The runway's approach lighting is almost invisible in 2.5

 

... the mission still serves it's purpose.

Did you placed in the Mission Editor a landing waypoint on the airport you want to land?

In DCS, this is needed to be able to see the synthetic runway.

Unfortuantely, Razbam implemented it only in that way, and not in the way it works in the real aircraft.

 

ILS should work without that, jsut dial in the correct frequency and turn it on.

Edit: I'm wrong, the ADI needles are just hard to see.

 

 

The HUD indication (and ILS audio) is working though, so you can use the 'box' left/right arrows for guidance and when they are gone you know you are near the localizer center line.

Checked track for pilot error

Same for me. Happened a couple of times. Sometimes just a little shudder, sometimes a complete fireball. Strikes me as somewhat unrealistic.

Hi all again

Hi all again

 

Video:

 

Unfortunately your video doesn't show the briefed (LAlt+B) wind speed and direction, so it's not possible to tell if Kutaisi RWY 08 ILS is transmitting.

 

Kutaisi ATC is on Channel 15 on both V/UHF and VHF radios.

 

Edit:

 

Joining the "Georgia Reign - Dynamic PVE WAR - v3.0.65" server and taking a Mirage slot at Kutaisi - wind was 6m/s towards 188°T and RWY 26 is the active ATC runway i.e. ILS is turned off on RWY 08.

 

Note: the mission uses dynamic weather - so wind conditions may have been slightly different when you recorded your mission.

 

In my case, RWY 08 had a 1.8 m/s headwind, which triggered ATC to turn off 08 ILS and switch to the opposite (wrong) runway - it's an unfortunate bug, introduced with the new (2.5.x) Caucasus map, that effects multiple airbases/modules.

Edited August 30, 2019 by Ramsay
See if the server you used is up and check if Kutaisi ILS is operational

[icat]

But why did they turn off the ILS? I think it would be better if it's always on

In civil sims, the ILS is always on and in real life I don't know, but I'm going to ask a friend

[icat]

Well, my friend told me that the ILS never is turned off, in some airfields, the ILS localizer is used for the opposite runway. He pointed that it's not common that thing but it exist

[Ramsay]

But why did they turn off the ILS?

 

In this case it's a bug.

 

In other instances it's correct

 

• sometime the Markers share frequencies (with different morse ID's) i.e. Krymsk 04/22, Krasnodar-Pashkovsky, etc. and are used for different NDB approaches.

 

or

 

• there's 2 sets of ILS equipment that share the same frequency i.e. Vaziani 13/31

 

For an airport with a single ILS, there's some debate on whether DCS ATC switches RWY directions at the right wind speeds, but DCS is what it is (it used to change @~7kts tailwind) and while this bug for moderate headwinds is present, the debate is moot as IMHO it breaks ILS for most missions with realistic/moderate weather.

 

AFAIK using a localizer "backcourse" approach isn't a common procedure, so IRL you'd be guided by ATC/radar or divert to an alternative airport.

[icat]

Then we conclude that it's not my mistake it's simply DCS...

[Cyrus]

Tonight I was hoping to hop into the Mirage 2000C once more. However, I could no longer select the radar dogfight modes, irrespective of whether the 530D, Magic II or guns were selected. When I checked the controls for the joystick, I could no longer find 'special mode forward' and 'special mode aft'.

 

Where have these gone? What has changed?

 

 

EDIT: resolved, key labels changed following a recent update.

[SpeedStick]

I the same problem, but I cant find the changed/new keymapping either.

[kievbsm]

Hello!

Can somebody help me, please, to fix this problem?

 

 

This problem does not always occur, but only when the sun shines from the side of the tail.

Then, in the event of a turn or any other maneuvers, the sun continues to blind the mirror and is corrected only by restarting the mission.

The same thing happens if at night someone shines headlights from the side of the tail (for example, another plane at the airport.) :(

I the same problem, but I cant find the changed/new keymapping either.

Following keybinds are modified:

- Special Modes AFT to Weapons SystemCMD AFT

- Target Unlock/Special Modes Deselect to Weapons SystemCMD Depress

[SpeedStick]

Hey Shimmer.

 

Yeah wrecked my heading trying to find it. Turned out I also had to reinstall the module.

Thanks though!

[tata]

Hola, desde la ultima actualización hecha hoy, no consigo que funcionen los MAGIC, ni siquiera me deja seleccionarlo en el tablero , sólo me deja seleccionar el 530. Alguien sabe que puede haber pasado ?

Probé a volver a instalar el módulo pero sigue igual.Tampoco funciona en las misiones rápidas. Gracias.

[jojo]

En el avión real no puedes seleccionar el Magic para usarlo desde la PCA.

Necesita usar el comando HOTAS.

Thank you so much Shimmergloom667 :thumbup:

[sedenion]

All si in the title, HUD brighness adjustment does not work for dynamic elements such as gun snake, gun reticle circle, rocket reticle circle, CCIP line, etc...

 

 

[sedenion]

In low PRF (BFR) mode, radar contacts who are flying away are displayed as reversed V like in high PRF (HFR) mode, instead of a square.

 

 

[falconzx]

BFR is completely broken on this radar rework, it should be an emission wavelenght that give a better ranging on cold contacts and lesser on hot ones, but if you do a fast check you will find it the same ranging performances of HFR (with all the limitations about PIC)

Same story for the Horizontal Scan at low frequency.

[sedenion]

I realised I missed the september 10 update, but with the last update it is even worst, the radar is full of bugs...

[Ducksen]

This is not a bug, had no place else that was logical to put this request.

 

 

I want to be able to keymap the manual frequency selectors, where you enter the frequency. Meaning where you enter a frequency that is not pre-programed in the radio.

 

 

Those rollers are REALLY hard to see and operate in VR. So a fix for that would be to keybind them. No more need to see them, just operate the manually mapped keys and bob's your uncle.

 

 

The cockpit is not easy to read and see in general in VR. A whole lot of just knowing what that blur blob does and clicking it.

For the record, I LOVE the Mirrage 2000C, and enjoy the airframe in DCS.

 

 

Hope the frequency number selectors can be key mapable.

Cheers

Hi RAZBAM

 

Here are some pictures that shows how you can see through the fuselage damage in one side of the plain but there is no visible damage in the other,

Please make theme black like the others for the integrity of this nice module
