ILS Training mission

[foxter26]

Thx Stanger!

Both miz's good flying as mentioned above

 

With broken warthog throttle this is challenging for now :)

 

Tnx and happy new year all final aproach freaks

Does this training mission have voice overs and subtitles?

No this is more of a quick airstart mission to practice your ILS landings not instructional.

Two questions. The steering bars work great on the ILS at Batumi in your mission. However, when I fly other missions and come in for a landing at Batumi on a regular day or night without inclement weather, there are no steering bars, only the notch on the left margin to indicate glide path. What decides when the steering bars are operable?

 

Second question, runway is 13 at Batumi and that usually means I set the course to 130 on the HSI and it is always off a bit. Your 120 course was perfect, that means the runway bearing is off. How is one to know in flight on the way in what course to set if you can't rely on a good lineup from the runway number? How did you come up with 120, any way other than setting it on the ground to know for sure?

 

The 120 was from landing a lot at Batumi and sitting on the runway dead center. A heading of 121 or 122 would be exact. I think the rounding to 130 in game is off. Should have rounded to 120. The Steering bars seems to sensitive. I use the ADI caret for glide slope.

Clarification

I don't mind the steering bars. especially the vertical bar during an approach with no vis. When will the steering bars be there? They are usually not there when doing an ILS approach to Batumi, I just have the ADI caret. Will they automatically come out during inclement weather?

Make sure that the bars aren't stowed.

How?

The real Batumi runway 13 is 130.89° true (AIP, Mar 2010) thus 126°? magnetic (given 5°E var). In-game I get a 119.8° magnetic readout on HARS which suggests 125.3° true (DCS says 5.5°E for that location). And yet the angular relationship between the lines of longitude in the ME and the runway edge is 131.3° so... a serious "angle audit" is in order.

 

In DCS:BS the map rotated as you moved it so that true north was always straight up for the center of the ME screen. In WH it doesn't seem to be so (yet.)

 

At least in FAA rules the naming of the runway and the actual magnetic heading can differ by 15° so a 056 named runway 7 is technically fine.

 

Also notice that the CRS knob setting that results in a course to the runway when centered on the localizer and the setting that results in a 0 bank command again when centered on the LOC are different... again by about 5-6°.

I made a video based on this mission in Beta 4.

 

 

(there are somes text in spanish, this was for a friends fly in a Hispanic Community)

 

I have some questions:

 

It is already clear that it is impossible to coordinate the instruments if set to 130 ° HSI course, I used 120 degrees and it was perfect. I am no specialist on the subject, but I wonder if that DCS might fix it later?. Or do not know, will have to memorize magnetic courses?. It would be ideal to always track the course of ATC tell us?, in reality these margins of error exist?.

 

Regarding Wather Conditions, not find a way to make it more realistic, if I use the fog at night, there is a white base that even covers up the distant mountains, I find it very unrealistic. The only way to fix it a bit, dropping the base clouds, but a significant negative impact on fps. This is currently in WIP or intend to leave it?

Really interesting post.

 

I imagine this to be pretty high on the fix-list.

 

Regardless, very interesting stuff.

Nice landing in movie. I notice that a heading of 120 degrees was a good heading to land. That is why I put it in brief. Intent of mission was for anybody that wanted a quick start to practice the ILS in a fast way.
