No glide slope on ILS

[grim_reaper68]

Hi

Just made a flight in the Southwest of the map, and none of the ILS had a glide slope. Tested with Mirage F1, M2000 and F-16 to be sure.

Tested on Spangdahlem, Ramstein, Zweibrücken, Frankfurt.

Hi! Tested on Hamburg with the F-4E, the glideslope needle was present but totally wrong

[Tarres]

Same as other nav problems, bad data coded in the beacons.lua

Tegal 26L 109.3 GS ok.

[grim_reaper68]

In fact, I just took a look at Spangdahlem and found 3 Localiser , one called 'SPA' 109.9 direction -75.032 , 'ISPA' 108.1 direction 55.64  and 'ISPE' 109.15 direction -124.38. 2 Glideslope: 'ISPA' 108.1 direction 143.55 'ISPE' 109.15 direction -35.75. If I compare with Batumi, Localiser and Glideslope have the same direction. That explains why they're not working.

Interesting grim_reaper68 might explain why you get a momentary GS alive as you pass abeam the GS antenna on landing.

In fact, I noticed that too. While flying next to the runway, the GS reacted for a couple of seconds. I managed to make Spangdahlem work by pasting the same direction as those from the LOC on the GS.

Tested Ramstein, it works.

What I noticed is that the descriptions are mixed up. An example from Rammstein:

111.5 for 277 runway, but it isnt true:

111.5 is for 95, for 277 runway is 111.75. 

Perhaps there are similar errors in the description at other airports.

[grim_reaper68]

In fact IREL (111.50) is on the runway 9, and i found another error in the rwy 27 as the ILS should be called IRWR (110.75) and not OGNID who seems to be a marker. Do you know where to find the descrition file? Or maybe it's encrypted. 

@YoYo did you test it on runway 9 (111.50) on my side i had the localiser who didn't work. runway 27 is ok.

Finally I managed to make Ramstein ILS work correctly. And to have the correct information.

I just changed the order in the lua file to have this, I grouped both LOC and Glideslope together

Tested ILS at Bueckeburg in the Huey today, also no glidepaths both runways (in reality Bueckeburg only has an ILS for RWY25 btw).

Hi

If you haven't done it yet, you can find my work here, any feedback of lack or mistakes welcome. For complete ILS frequencies, a look on the Beacon information in the Mission Editor, will give you all frequencies, as on airfields with 2 runways, only the marked one (blue circle with white bar) ILS frequencies will appear on the F10 map.

Don't forget to backup your original file, if you want to try it.
