I played around with different weather settings and absolutely love the possibilities this game produces. The graphics are fantastic :thumbup:

 

Since I wanted to try out the ILS function, I flew a couple of ILS-Approach into Kobuleti Airbase, runway 07. On the last one the weather was pretty bad:helpsmilie:

The runway came in sight at about 200 feet.

 

One thing that I didn't like was the jerky movement of the steering bars. So I switched them off.... :huh:

 

Inbound course of the ILS is about 065°.

 

Check out the track, fly for yourself or see the film here:

Great video...what a thrill that landing must have been. In the soup down to 200 feet off the deck, great job!

 

I have not tried the ILS landings yet, and watching the video had me asking myself, where are the virtual ILS steering bars in the HUD? I guess im spoiled by Falcon 4.

Hi WarriorX,

 

Thank you for your feedback. I am also wondering why there are no steering bars in the HUD.

 

The steering bars in the ADI are really jerky. I don't think they are that sensitive in real life.

Didn't the A-10 A have a super basic ILS on the HUD? in FC 2.0

at 2:30 in, you switch something that removed the bars from the ADI. Why?

Nice Video but in real live you are above glide slope and 30-40 feet to high.

 

And you are few feet to high over threshold, but i think the glidslope is not really help full in the DC A-10 Simulations world.

 

This Video is 100 to 200 feet visual sight above ground to the runway and you see the different.

 

 

And this is a Cat II with a 767 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pEZSRhYwx2o

 

That why i feel the glidslope in the DC A-10 is to near in to the runway.

 

In your video i feel a 747 ore 767 Flightdeck down range view not an A-10

 

But in any case your video is nice, and is not depend on your flight that are you few feet to high.

 

a good pilot is always in training

p.s. in your video i see you get visual at 120 feet above ground and then you dive with 900 to 1000 fpm, and your speed around 110 to 120 touchdown at 116 i think on the video, and 900 fpm descend is 400 feet to mutch in real live.

 

But depend on DC A-10 simulations world not your foult.

Thank you for the feedback. I am glad most of you like the track. True, a proper approach takes alot of practice, no doubt. I made a typical greenhorn mistake when the runway came in sight by letting the nose drop toward the runway.

 

Cheers...

Meaning, you think the glideslope intersects the runway too close to the threshold? It ought to be ~750-1250' of course...

The GS should intersect the threshold vertical plane at 50'. At a 3° slope this equates to crossing the horizontal runway plane at 1000' down the runway length. This is approximately what I've found in DCS.

 

Of course in real life there are minimum reliable G/S signals as the near field gets a little messy. If these were CAT I approaches DH would somewhere near 200' I think, well above TCH.

Yes the beam of the glideslope intersects is to close not on the thresshold is near 500 feet at the first touchdown marker.

 

If i have time i check it, but i give up this A-10 is a desaster.

 

Sorry for my straight answear but this is what i see in the A-10 simulation.
