GermanyCW - AV-8B - AWLS???

[TonyRS]

So no AWLS channels for ILS approaches in the harrier on new GermanyCW map?
No AWLS Channels listed in kneeboard?
Or… am I missing something here?

The DCS AV-8B's AWLS compatibility with "regular ILS" is purely fictional - the "real" AWLS is a microwave landing system and uses the same 20 channels as the Hornet i.e. ICLS.

As there is no way in RL or DCS to enter an ILS frequency via the cockpit or a MFD page, the only way to do so is by editing a DCS AV-8B config file - 
"DCS World\Mods\aircraft\AV8BNA\Cockpit\Scripts\RadioNav\AN_ARN128_config.lua"

Comment

In IFR conditions - consider flying TACAN approaches as a more realistic/plausible real life SOP.

AFAIK due to the current dispute between Razbam and ED (where Razbam and their coders/artists are not receiving their portion from sales of their aircraft modules) - it is unlikely the AV-8B code will be updated to support the new map.

Note: there is a slim chance a Razbam dev will do the work for free and ED will agree to push the change as part of an official patch but I wouldn't hold your breath.

Thanks for the explanation. As you suggest, I’ll not hold my breath!
Such a shame, three iconic aircraft slowly falling apart

Any idea where I might find the correct [“mapID”]?
Seems the file hasn’t been updated since the release of the South Atlantic map

Or ED gives us a mobile version of the ICLS like in real life. Would be good for Hornet pilots and also a bunch of helos.
