RagnarDa Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Anyone figured out the navigation system? DCS AJS37 HACKERMAN There will always be bugs. If everything is a priority nothing is.
IonicRipper Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 Shouldn't it be explained in the manual? i5 4590 @ 3.77GHz | GTX 1060 6GB | 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 | 1TB HDD+500GB HDD | Win10 Home X64 [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
RagnarDa Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 I try to follow the manual but havent figured out how its supposed to work. The manual isnt very clear or I am dumb :/ DCS AJS37 HACKERMAN There will always be bugs. If everything is a priority nothing is.
EvilBivol-1 Posted April 30, 2013 Posted April 30, 2013 About the most you can do is use the ADF to home on the NDB stations located throughout the map. - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy. Everything takes much longer. The Parable of Jane's A-10 Forum Rules
RagnarDa Posted April 30, 2013 Author Posted April 30, 2013 About the most you can do is use the ADF to home on the NDB stations located throughout the map. Please explain how one would go about to do that DCS AJS37 HACKERMAN There will always be bugs. If everything is a priority nothing is.
RagnarDa Posted May 1, 2013 Author Posted May 1, 2013 NVM. Tried freq 525 on the ADF-radio set. DCS AJS37 HACKERMAN There will always be bugs. If everything is a priority nothing is.
jimcarrel Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 The first mission in the Huey UN campaign, briefing shows map of where you are going and gives the NDB stations to follow on route, just takes radio usage knowledge. Win 10 64 bit Intel I-7 7700K 32GB Ram Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 6gig
JesseJames38 Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 And a map that shows all the NDB stations speaking of witch is there one in the manual? Jesse
jimcarrel Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Check pages 84 and 85 in the manual. (oops, maybe 83 & 84). The map in first UN mission gives the station channels on route to destination. Win 10 64 bit Intel I-7 7700K 32GB Ram Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 6gig

JesseJames38 Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Thats how to operate the radios which is fine. I am looking for a map that has the location of the radio towers along with the radio frequancy. So i know where i am going when i am flying tords the pointer. thanks Jesse.
wess24m Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I'd be interested in an answer to this as well. I was able to pick up an ILS beacon, can I use that with the ADF? The manual was indeed vague with the radio section. It seems like only a couple of the airports/bases have NDB. Why do we have 2 radios with ADF? What is the loop function? the manual essentially says, this is the loop setting....thx for enlightening me haha. I've heard you can set up a freq as a trigger for a mission, I'd assume you can add NDB's by added them to a LUA database. Would be nice to have that option. I'm kinda a radiofile :)
jimcarrel Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 In \Eagle Dynamics\DCS World\Doc\Charts, you can find a pdf with airports and airbase information. No NDB's listed, but it lists the ils and tower frequencies. One could check the frequencies listed in the briefing map for the first UN campaign mission and check airbase pdf to see which frequencies are used. (tower or Ils), then decide which radio to use. Just guessing. Win 10 64 bit Intel I-7 7700K 32GB Ram Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 6gig
EvilBivol-1 Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 All of the NDBs are on the map of the Mission Editor once you zoom in a little. Of course this means they are also on the map of the Mission Planner, which you can use prior to starting a mission. - EB [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Nothing is easy. Everything takes much longer.

Suchacz Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) The joke with helos is that IFR stands for "I Follow Roads." :thumbup: Good one, and very true :D In case of bad weather, the best option is to drink some beer in officer's club :smilewink: In case of Huey I would not call it IFR flying, because she is not equipped for that. I would rather call it "radio navigation"... Edited May 1, 2013 by Suchacz Per aspera ad astra!

wess24m Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I found a list of all NDB for us all. https://www.dropbox.com/s/kb47biu7he5is6i/Martin_Renders_LOSLAMs.pdf
Val77 Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 Ty wess24m ! It's difficult to navigate because there is currently no NDB frequency into briefing... Have you NDB who are not near airport ? But there is a MAP in press K too... bye :) ASUS P8P67 │ Intel Core I5 2500K │ AMD Radeon HD5770 1 Go │ Corsair 650W │ Corsair DDR3 6 Go [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC]
Ebs Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 I'd assume you can add NDB's by added them to a LUA database. Would be nice to have that option. I'm kinda a radiofile :) have a look at this - http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=101090 I only added ILS and TACAN but you can indeed add more beacons via the Beacons.lua (also, you'll get a full list of them in there) Check out my guide to JSGME for DCS World.
JG14_Smil Posted May 1, 2013 Posted May 1, 2013 (edited) Hello, I am in the process of editing the beacons.lua so that it shows the ID of the NDB's and not the Russian name of the beacons on the ARK-22 display card (right side of cockpit). I am doing this for the Blackshark, so I don't know if it can help you here. When done, an English speaking pilot, flying the Ka-50, will see the numbers and be able to match them up with the ABRIS or F10 map locations when navigating (this means one or two people will do it) :) I will offer the file when completed. Do note the ARK.lua file has to be edited to include the NDB's for the region you are flying in. Not sure how or if the Huey can use this. Best of luck with the Huey launch!

That sounds awesome, now if only they'd make a shark manual taking into account the English pit. Hopefully they'll keep working on the shark as well as these new aircraft.
Midnight Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 The joke with helos is that IFR stands for "I Follow Roads." :megalol::megalol:
Robert1983NL Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 The joke with helos is that IFR stands for "I Follow Roads." Why with helo pilots? I don't get it. Helicopters can fly IFR fine.
TurboHog Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Why with helo pilots? I don't get it. Helicopters can fly IFR fine. Helicopters fly relatively low (including nap-of-the-earth flight). Roads make a good and easy alternative for navigation... 'Frett'
Robert1983NL Posted May 4, 2013 Posted May 4, 2013 Yeah ofcourse, but that's VFR, not IFR. The joke doesn't make any sense lol.
