Picking up the AWLS needles issue

[markturner1960]

Hi, been trying using the AWLS system and been having issues getting the needles to appear? I can get the 4 bars, and that’s it. Definitely set the right channel. Had it working on a mission hosted by someone else, so I know the procedure etc, I was using the night landing training mission, into Kobuleti. .......thanks

You are likely doing nothing wrong - there is a long standing bug in 2.5.x DCS where the active runway ILS and ATC directions can desync for light headwinds (1-6 knot).

 

This happens in the "Harrier Caucasus TM04 Night.miz" training mission (M04 Conventional landing at night) which has a 3 knot headwind towards 251°T i.e. ATC uses RWY 07 but it's ILS is inactive.

 

Increasing the wind speed to 6 knots using the mission editor will re-enable RWY 07's ILS (as would setting wind speed to zero).
