Hurghada - wrong ILS frequency

[Minsky]

RWY34R ILS 114.20 is incorrect, should be 110.30

Thanks Minsky you have saved me alot of posts tonight!  Utterly painful a year on we are still having the same mindset when implementing the map.  How can the dev's not just get navigraph etc for the month and sort out the nonsense that is radio nav on this map at present.

There are so many missing tacan's, nav beacons, its basically a VFR terrain.

I feel it got worse after the update: quite a few TACANS have been removed and most broken ILS are still broken.

The map certainly requires a thorough navaids review. Although I'm not sure where they gonna get the current data on military installations in this area. Even the dedicated military supplements from Jeppesen don't have Egyptian TACANs and air bases. I assume Navigraph lacks them as well. And SkyVector is hardly a credible source for the region.

If they get all civilian navaids operational, and the military public available ones, i will be more than content.

I do not understand why OnReTech have literally failed to really invest any time in what is one of the core components of any map - can't nav to a target, can't hit it!

Its really a VFR map at this point.  OnreTech should be transparent on this fact, or sort out once and for all the mess (i think a year on, its a fair request)

@OnReTech  You didn't answer on this thread, like you did on the other.
Did you take note of this Hurghada ILS bug, reported by  @Minsky please ?

Thanks.

I struggle to find a response from you that isnt "Thanks, added to the bug list. Priority - medium" - it's almost like a copy pasted response.

Whilst i know this is a new airport, I think what most people want to know @OnReTech as you simply refuse a year one to rectify nav data or tacan files and give a detailed credible response on why so many of these are wrong or missing from release what "priority medium" means in terms of timeframes.  Your long periods of silence and failure to resolve the wider nav issues on this map is a reason why at present i cannot recommend for MP use for gen 3/cold war.

We answer in a standard way because we introduce bugs into our program so as not to miss anything. We try to make the maximum number of bugs for the next update.

ILS 34R is now working as intended.
@OnReTech Thanks for the update !
