Low Visibility ILS video

You can get the trk and ACMI files here, (Fish027_ILS_Pattern_fog.trk.)

 

ACMI file is TACVIEW_Fog_Landing.

You need to be at most one dot low. Once you hit two dots below glideslope you're supposed to abort. Other than the altitude/attitude holding issues, nicely done.

Excellent Vid Fish,I learned alot!!

Slainte' :)

Good Vid. I may start flying without the HUD for a while just to become less dependant on it.

Very nice video Fish, reminds me of that flight we had in multiplayer without the HUD. I see you've also got some video evidence of that taxiway bug we were talking about.

I'll post it here, but you seem to have found a bug, Fish - you shouldn't have your Glideslope needle before / without a localizer signal.

 

On a more minor note you shouldn't hear the Morse code unless you're within the localizer lobes either.

 

Excellent video though, I'm going to give it a shot myself.

This is not a bug. In general you shouldn't follow the glideslope unless you captured the localizer. There's nothing to prevent you from doing it the Fish(y)- way :)

This is a confirmed bug. The audio panel selections don't work as advertised. Supposedly adressed in patch .8. Nothing to do with "being within the LOC lobes though... :)

Nice video! Try the same scenario at night, same cloud base and when you see those runway lights "appear", as you descend below the cloud base you will have a smile;)

 

Just a thought, if you intercept G/S from below its easier to track. Exceptions being high ground on approach of course!:)

Great video, Fish. Inspires me to spend some time practicing on the more conventional instruments. It's so easy to become reliant on the HUD.

Nope. A-10 uses the same ILS receiver as the F-15: AN/ARN-108. No localizer, you get no glideslope.

He's got a localizer signal its just not "off the wall".

Nice vid. You should have stowed the steering bars though. They are porked. Hopefully they will be patched in the future.

Frostiken is correct, but not because of the fact that it's an AN/ARN-108. That's just the ILS receiver set, which is actually composed of the C-9445 Cockpit Control Panel, and the R-1871 Radio Receiver. The ARN-108 simply supplies input to the CPU-132/A Flight Director Computer, which is responsible for actually driving the steering bars.

 

In order to satisfy the requirements to display glideslope command steering, the following conditions must be met:

 

1) valid localizer signal

2) valid glideslope signal

3) the aircraft must be within 2 dots of the localizer

4) the aircraft must be within .5 dots of the glideslope

 

At that point, pitch steering will be displayed until/unless excessive glideslope deviation occurs.

 

There's more to it than that, but that's the basics.
