1.2.4. Blackshark bug fix

[JG14_Smil]

Hello,

 

 

This is for the Ka-50 Blackshark in DCS World.

 

Version 1.2.4. beacons.lua has some lines missing from Kutaisi, Sochi and a few other airfields. The lines are for the NDB beacons for the airfields and the ARK-22 no longer works at these fields because of it. I was able to easily fix it by replacing the lines and it works great offline.

 

I cannot fly MP with the fix though, due to it clashing with the server. Please replace those missing lines in the beacons.lua in the next update. Do you need me to provide them to you?

[TABLE] [Kutaisi] = { -- UGKO Kopitnari (Georgia)

runway = {

["08-26"] = { --In LOBS map this airfield has 8 and 26 numbers drawed on runway's sides

side = {

["08"] = {

{

type = BEACON_TYPE_ILS_FAR_HOMER,

callsign = "КН",

frequency = 845000.0,

},

ILS:channel('34Y', 'IKS')

},

["26"] = {},

}

}

},

[/TABLE]

 

Above edited code snippet has working ARK-22 while offline.

 

[TABLE] [Kutaisi] = { -- UGKO Kopitnari (Georgia)

runway = {

["08-26"] = { --In LOBS map this airfield has 8 and 26 numbers drawed on runway's sides

side = {

["08"] = {

ILS:channel('34Y', 'IKS', math.rad(3.0))

},

["26"] = {},

}

}

},[/TABLE]

 

Above code snippet is from 1.2.4 and had no working ARK-22 Inner and or OUTER beacons (Kutaisi only has one beacon). There are several airfields that are affected like this in 1.2.4. If I can find them I am sure you can too. I note you edited the ILS lines and that is probably where the copy/paste errors came to be. I did not mean to include the obsolete ILS line in my example, but left it there to show my personal mistake when I edited.

 

thank you.

The airfields with these missing lines are:

 

Kutaisi

Sochi

Gudauta

 

This all falls into place now... these three airfields have NDB approaches but are not included on the default ARK.lua (and therefore the ARK-22 channel placard). When you guys edited and debugged the 1.2.4 files, you forgot about these three fields.
