F-4E Akrotiri ILS Not Working.

[ThorBrasil]

I did a mission for the F-4E after update 2.9.5.55300 which introduced the F-4E to the DCS platform.

When the mission was created, the ILS and TACAN at Akrotiri airfield were working perfectly.

As time went by while I edited the mission and added new units, the ILS and TACAN stopped working.

I deleted all units and triggers from the mission and only the TACAN started working again. The ILS doesn't work. You can test it in the mission below.

The funny thing is that if you create a mission again from scratch the ILS starts working normally. Now if I start adding the units again, I don't know if the ILS will stop working in the future. Please check this possible bug. Thanks!

@HB_Painter Please take a look as this may even affect paid campaigns.

Hey thanks for the report! We will investigate and especially thanks for including a track and the miz that helps tremendously

@ThorBrasil, I checked your mission and the reason ILS does not work is the Mission Editor wind. For some reason DCS disables the ILS in some wind cases. For me it helped either disabling the wind entirely or making sure the wind is aligned with the runway and strong enough (people report around 8kts headwind is required). See this or other threads:

First screen is your setting, the second one is what worked on my side but try disabling wind fully first to exclude it from other possible reasons.
