AWLS Frequencies

[Weegie]

This is probably Old Hat to those of you who jump in this module frequently, as I don't I was hoping somebody might enlighten me

 

Mainly related to the Kneeboard frequencies in the PG map but in general some airbases titles don't show up on the kneeboard and have to be located via the other info. This is not a biggie, but how come it's never been fixed up until now, it's 15 minutes work to look up the frequencies verify the locations and correct the file?

 

Something more puzzelling is the PG entries.

 

There's an entry with a frequency for LAR AB, although LAR has no ILS and as I understand it the AWLS depends on ED's ILS channels to work.

One of the runway headings is also wrong (19) too.

There's also a runway 29 for Sharjah although according to my data there is no runway 29 for Sharjah

Then there is nothing entered for AL Dhafra although it has 4 ILS approaches.

 

I've rehashed the AN_ARN128 file to fix it so as the kneeboard entries match what info I have on available ILS/AWLS, and also corrected some other minor stuff, but I was wondering if I'd missed something and there was an underlying reason for the original entries

 

Am I missing something here or just got it all plain wrong (& if so I apologize)?

 

EDIT

Also meant to ask would it be possible to put AWLS frequencies into the Syria map by adding the frequencies for ILS, TACAN etc: to this file?

The current AN_ARN128 ILS entries are for the PG ILS frequencies as originally released, DCS 2.5.6.x updated/added to the PG map but many (most?) of these new entries (i.e. for dual runways) don't work for any module or are outside a valid ILS frequency range.

 

9 months on, these WIP PG ILS frequencies haven't been fixed. I'm not sure if RB are waiting for ED to fix the map or if  keeping AN_ARN128.lua up to date is simply a low priority.

 

IRL the AV-8B isn't compatible with ILS, I suggest focusing on TACAN for landing guidance, etc.
