Mobile TACAN Beacon...How About ILS?

[WytchCrypt]

Hi all,

 

I just stumbled across the mobile TACAN beacon (Ground Units->Fortifications->TACAN Beacon TTS3030).  Just tested it on a Caucasus airfield without existing TACAN and it worked perfectly.  Got me thinking though, is there also (or plans for) a mobile ILS unit? 

 

I fly the Caucasus map 99% of the time and it would be great to get TACAN+ILS on those airfields even if I have to put some kind of mobile units there to get the job done.

I’ve added ILS signals to Anapa so far.

Hi Tony,

 

I've been using your excellent Caucasus and NTTR ICLS Mod for quite awhile now.  Very happy to see you've added Anapa to the ICLS list and will give it a fly.  I'm wondering, is it not possible to add ICLS channels to the other missing coastal airfields like Gudauta, Sukhimi, Novorossiysk & Gelendzhik?

 

Thanks,

Dennis

It is a laborious process of getting the coordinates for each beacon (localizer and glideslope).  It can be done for every runway in all the maps, t would just take time.  
 

Adding them where there are existing ILS is easy, just copy/paste and bit of editing.  Creating them from scratch is the time consuming process.

Got it.  Another question...I notice that you changed some of the TACAN codes from your previous 2019 "Caucasus and NTTR ICLS Mod":  

 

Anapa 45X -> 59X

Belsan 50X -> 51X

Krasnodar-Centre 94X -> 39X

Maykop 40X -> 53X

etc...

 

And also some of the ILS Channels as well:

Krasnodar-Centre CH9 -> CH17

Batumi CH13 -> CH16

etc...

 

Can you comment on why it was necessary to change those?

 

Thanks!

1. I downloaded this info Excel and had it feed me frequencies as I made a few of the TACANs into VORTACs. 
2. For Anapa I was chasing a bug that ended up being something totally unrelated.  
3. The ICLS I wanted to keep away from ones I was using in missions that conflicted with the land based ones.

Krasnodar is actually 94X, readme is incorrect.
