AJaromir Posted August 3, 2024 Posted August 3, 2024 (edited) It looks like the glide slope indicated by PAPI lights is much more steep than 3°. Is that correct? Edited August 3, 2024 by AJaromir
AJaromir Posted August 4, 2024 Author Posted August 4, 2024 (edited) I know in the Lochini is sloped runway. Around 12 meters difference between edges. Runway lenght is 2920 meters. That means the runway slope is around 0,23546° Even with that the PAPI should be calibrated to 3,23546° on one side and 2,76454° on another. But it really looks like it is much more. The most important is right in the DCS chart is written the PAPI is calibrated to 3° Edited August 4, 2024 by AJaromir 1
AJaromir Posted August 4, 2024 Author Posted August 4, 2024 Yeah. I will take aircraft with FPM marker to be sure. 1
AJaromir Posted August 4, 2024 Author Posted August 4, 2024 (edited) Here, Runway 13 - PAPI shows on glide path at 5° glideslope. While the ILS shows that I am far above the glide path. null Edited August 4, 2024 by AJaromir 1
virgo47 Posted August 4, 2024 Posted August 4, 2024 This seems to be a general problem with PAPI lights on Caucasus and perhaps on other maps too... Batumi ditto. It shouldn't be hard to fix (if it is, then something is seriously wrong), but it's like this for a long long time. 1 L-39, F-4E, F-5E, F-14, F/A-18C, MiG-15, F-86F, AJS-37, C-101, FC2024 Yak-52, P-47, Spitfire, CE2 UH-1H, Mi-8, Ka-50 III, SA342 NTTR, PG, SY, Chnl, Norm2, Kola, DE Supercarrier, NS430, WWII, CA VKB STECS+Gladiator/Kosmosima+TPR DCS Unscripted YouTube "Favourite" bugs: 1) gates not growing regress (FIXED 2025-03 ), 2) L-39 target size cockpit animation regress (FIXED 2025-02), 3) Yak-52 toggles not toggling, 4) all Caucasus ATC bugs
AJaromir Posted August 4, 2024 Author Posted August 4, 2024 Thank You for Your reply. As you've written. It probably is "global" issue. Not just one airfield.
Rongor Posted November 25, 2024 Posted November 25, 2024 (edited) I can confirm Batumi has the same issue, which is causing trouble in the A-10C Basic Flight Training Qualification Campaign when you are ordered to follow the PAPI and then get a penalty for flying above the gildeslope and on top have to do a significant flare edging stall speed to not slam into the runway...
