airfields

[colubridae]

Hi all

 

Is there a list of IAF postions for all airfields...?

 

For instance as far as I can tell for SAKI the IAF is somewhere over the sea.

and you must approach (using ILS) from over the water.

 

is it poss to set up from the other direction or is it a requirement to approach from only that direction (ie from the west)?

 

 

if so is that the case for all airfields.

 

I understand tha one can land manually from any direction

 

(ps how do I change from junior member to member?)

To change approach direction, set the wind to blow toward the direction you want to approach. If it doesn't change, increase the wind velocity.

As Goya said, set up some wind in the Weather Menu and Lockon will automatically swap the ILS to the other end of the runway. Be warned that for some of the airfields in the Caucasus, the swapped-around ILS will try to fly you into a hill. I won't tell you which ones, it will be more fun for you to find out yourself, LOL. Especially on a stormy night landing with low cloud and some bumpy turbulence ;)

Sadly there is no way to force the ILS to land you at a secondary runway eg Sochi-Adler's 02/20. To land there in either direction, you'll have to do a visual approach.

 

Respect to you for wanting to try instrument approaches from different directions and exploring what Lockon has to offer. Makes a change from kids whining after flying Lockon for a week - I want more flyables, I'm bored with the Black Sea map, etc.

 

As for the junior / senior stuff, who cares? I'm sure it is based on how many posts. Personally I judge folks by the quality of their posts not the quantity. Rep seems to be a better measure of this. If someone regularly posts helpful and informative stuff, then they will get repped up by others....

Thanks for your replies...

 

as to lockon I am hoplelessly addicted. The amount of possibilities is awesome.

When I was a kid I went to biggin hill for aircrew selection (to Cranwell I hoped) sadly my eyes let me down. major specs.

 

This is the closest I will ever get to the real thing...
