IvanK Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 The DME component of a VORDME station is not working on any map. Seems if the DME section of the coding has been missed. It would also seem that ILSDME has not been coded at all. The DME component in a VORTAC works just fine.
Frederf Posted March 25, 2021 Posted March 25, 2021 Yeah I noticed the trick that tuning a TACAN receiver to a non-TACAN DME facility to get range doesn't work. Similar I'm guessing tuning non-TACAN DME equipment can't be tuned to the DME side of TACAN gear either.
Flappie Posted June 5, 2021 Posted June 5, 2021 Recoil has repored the VOR/DME issue already: He told me the ILS/DME isn't implemented ingame so far. ---
some1 Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 Bump. The game still does not support ILS DME, which means most ILS approaches on all new maps are badly coded and don't match real world charts, as most approaches in real world use ILS/DME. For example: 1 Hardware: VPForce Rhino, FSSB R3 Ultra, Virpil WarBRD, Hotas Warthog, Winwing F15EX, Slaw Rudder, GVL224 Trio Throttle, Thrustmaster MFDs, Saitek Trim wheel, Trackir 5, Quest Pro
some1 Posted November 5, 2023 Posted November 5, 2023 (edited) Thanks. TACAN equipped aircraft should be able to receive DME readout by tuning to the channel corresponding to the ILS frequency (for example 40X for 110.30). Not every airport has DME combined with ILS, but most civilian airports do.
