Corrected ILS/Radionav western Germany Beacons.lua

[grim_reaper68]

Hi

With the help from @Thadeyus and @drPhibes, I propose you an updated beacons.lua for West Germany.

Radionav freq corrected by @Thadeyus.

Airports with 2 runways where only one ILS was working, have now both working, thanks @drPhibes. Hamburg is a little bit tricky as the runways aren't parallel. And the ATC only announce landing on runway 5-23, but depending on wind direction runway 15-33 ILS works fine.

ILS frequencies and directions (most the time the Glideslope) have been corrected. I will make a frequency ref ASAP.

If someone would indicate me if East Germany ILS are broken, or incorrect, let me know so I can update it. I suppose it wouldn't pass the IC.

If you notice some inaccuracies in the modified ILS (wrong frequencies or else) just tell me. I used different sources, but maybe some are too recent.

Paste the file into your DCS World\Mods\terrains\GermanyColdWar folder. 

Don't forget to backup your original file!

Use at your own risks

Enjoy!

Gutersloh RWY 27 No GS with the revised Beacons LUA

Changing line 1281 so direction is the same as the Localizer direction produced a usable Glide Slope. Though looking at the airfield I don't believe a 3D GS object is there.

1281 direction = 100.552372;

    display_name = _('');
        beaconId = 'airfield16_2';
        type = BEACON_TYPE_ILS_GLIDESLOPE;
        callsign = 'GS';
        frequency = 110700000.000000;
        position = { -232963.156250, 65.000065, -834887.187500 };
        direction = 100.552372;  <-----
        positionGeo = { latitude = 51.921502, longitude = 8.319185 };
        sceneObjects = {'t:368312949'};

Thank you so much! I did an Ovgme to avoid problem and it works like a charm

@IvanK, my bad I concentrated of the major airfields. I made an update of some minor airfields, but hadn't time to test them. I also saw after research that Hildesheim didn't have an ILS as it was more an heli airfield on the actual informations I could find. But it's on the map... (meanwhile 111.20 doesn't work).

As told I'm glad of any feedback about mistakes or omissions of my part. I also wil check all the East Germany part, and made the needed corrections. 

I try to find informations from the cold war period about the ILS and use actual charts to try to crosscheck the accuracy of the frequencies. 

I hope Ugra will include our work when totally finished, so it can pass the IC for accurate IFR MP flight.

I also found an lonesome Localiser on Buckeburg at runway 7 whiwh is accurate but a little bit surprising.  I first thought it was a mistake.

 

Just an example: I looked at Leipzig Halle, where actually you have 2 runways 08-26, but on google earth in 2006 you have the "original" runway as in DCS (10-28). But I can find informations about the ILS from the 70's to the 90's... But I will at this time adjust the directions if needed and try to find the most accurate frequencies I could find (as even first decimals aren't usable).

I just discovered the PRMG ILS, but don't know if I have any plane who's able to use them. I think only russian planes used it. So I ask all pilots who could check them, if the could make me a feedback, so I can modify what's needed.

AFAIK most of the RSBN and PRMG in the eastern zone are missing / wrongly coded.

Only ED's L-39 uses the map's beacon.lua (MiG-21 has it's own definition files).

Changes/additions required are discussed in this thread with an example beacon.lua that adds several missing RSBN beacons (Russian TACAN equivalent).
