I must've missed a NOTAM on the ILS 22 at Larnaca...

ILS RWY22  is not working at Larnaca airport. Correct frequency (110.30) inserted. Dashed ILS bars on the F-16C HUD and no indication on the HSI.

Most ILS in DCS require certain conditions to be met for their activation. A bit of headwind usually helps:

I'm having the same issue in Paphos. Entered the correct freq but the ILS needles don't respond.

Isn’t there a long standing bug where the ILS isn’t activated unless the winds in the mission favor that side of the runway?

 

To the folks having issues: Double check that you’re not trying to fly the ILS with a tailwind.

I wouldn't call it a bug. A poorly implemented feature, maybe?

Don't just pick a random runway and expect its ILS to magically work. At least check-in with the approach, and be aware of the wind direction.

Disabling downwind ILS is not uncommon IRL, so not really a bug.

Either way. The ILS at both Larnaca and Paphos works as a general matter. Issues with ILS getting disabled depending on wind are a DCS core matter that is already reported.

Everybody said: "That's impossible!" Then someone came along who didn't know that and just did it.

I’d say walking that fine line. Not being able to use it with 5 knots on the tail is pretty silly.

Can't argue with that.

But I'm not sure they should spend time replacing their basic logic with something more sophisticated.

Just do what every civilian sim does for decades: keep all available ILS active at all times. And let us selectively disable/re-enable them via ME/scripting.

 Can’t argue with that, either! 🙂
