motoadve Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Where do I turn this ON? Its is automatic, correct? No need to set a specific frequency? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razo+r Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 The frequency for it has to be preset in the mission editor and you cannot change it once you are in the cockpit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JG14_Smil Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) Sorry for reopening this old post. "The frequency of the AFN-2 can be adjusted in the Mission Editor to any desired ILS beacon. By default it is set to 38 MHz." Is this feature like the Mig-15 gun camera, which only works in offline mode? (Please confirm this, yes or no). As I only fly online, I did some experimenting with changing the frequency of an ILS in my beacons.lua: Any attempt to set an ILS or PRMG localizer to 38 or 380 produced no results from the AFN-2. After looking into the Mission Editor frequency defaults, I see it uses "124.0" instead. Setting an ILS to "124000000.000000" again produces no results but setting a PRMG to "124000000.000000" makes the AFN-2 range needle work properly. The vertical AFN-2 needle only twitches and is not usable for navigation in any way. Again, is this an offline only feature, and if so, does it actually work? I can't be the only one to have done these tests. Thanks, and best wishes, Edited April 29, 2023 by JG14_Smil Edited for proper frequency numbers.

saburo_cz Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 (edited) I do not know if it is work online, probably yes. but only IF: 1st It is modern map Caucasus, Marianas or Syria ... No WWII map has any airport with ILS system (which make sense). 2nd mission creator must preset frequency for one airport's ILS system in correct format e.g. Akrotiri on Syria has ILS with frequency 109,70MHz and to receive signal from this ILS, "AFN-2 Base Frequency" must be changed in the ME from default (38) to 109,7. And then it will work, but only for this airport.

Thats how it seems to work, it constantly twitches. Skip to 6:50 for a demonstration. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
