ILS Missing or Bad

[Avio]

Was doing ILS to Ben Gurion Rwy 26 but no ILS was captured.

Is there a compiled listing somewhere that shows those ILS that are not buggy in the Sinai map? Sure would save much time in knowing in advance which airports rwy have got good ILS for mission planning.

Was 26 even the active runway for that field? 

In DCS, the airport may turn off the ILS for a runway that is not in use.

Thanks, I think it is not the active rwy. How may I check which are the active runways for each airport in Sinai? Also, are there any known ILS or Tacans that are buggy awaiting to be fixed?

Contact ATC and they will tell you which runway is in use. Alternativly you can also check the wind though that method is not 100% accurate.

Quite a lot -- check the Bugs section.

Edit:

- Wadi al Jandali & Hatzerim - same TACAN channel (96X)
- Cairo West - VORTAC 'SPX' broken
- Inshas - RWY22: unusable ILS frequency (116.90)
- Abu Suwayr - RWY27: unusable ILS frequency (119.70)
- Melez - unusable VOR frequency (110.10)
- Ben-Gurion - most ILSes misaligned
- Cairo International - ILS 05L-23R misaligned
- Hatzor - ILS RWY05 misaligned
- Nevatim - ILS RWY25 misaligned
- Tel Nof - ILS RWY36 half-broken

Ok thanks

I post a new topic about Ben-Gurion ILS not working bug here ---

There I share F-16C test missions ATC activates 5x different runways with wind blowing settings.

RW 08 and 21's ILS are working.
When the mission has no wind blowing, RW 21 is activated and ILS will be working.
RW 12 / 26 / 30's ILS are not working in my tests.
