[OLD BUG REPORTS] Cleaning and Organization of old posts

Of course, I set the APP mode and the appropriate ILS frequency, I know that the synthetic field appears when you have a WP landing at the airport, but I think if you only have the TACAN frequency and the ILS would have to be working properly, no?

Currently it isn’t working as expected (as you already noticed).

 

IRL the TACAN has no part in synthetic runway.

You would have to:

- set threshold coordinates in PCN (coordinates, heading, glide slope)

- set ILS frequency and use APP mode (obviously)

- set QFE on altimeter

 

The synthetic runway would be standard size and not matching exactly the actual runway.

Okay but the ILS indications in the HUD?

 

PS: Thanks to all

Just put the FPM in the box and forget about the rest for now.

 

But from what I have been told, and from what I read, the pilots would rather use the needles on artificial horizon head down.

 

Anyway, it’s still CAT 1 ILS: 550m/ 200ft minima.

[icat]

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

[Ramsay]

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.

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.) :(

Hey Shimmer.

 

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

Thanks though!

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:

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...

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.
