active EU Scotland Stornoway EGPO without DME

[Achmed]

Hi,

 

surprise at the first approach to EU Scotland EGPO: no DME (downloaded charts stated ILS/DME approach, the localizer is working).

I analyzed the airport BGL ADE_FTX_SCO_EGPO_ORBX.BGL with ADE, for the navaids it showed "ILS is stock" and the the DME button was deactivated (see attached pictures).

 

I switched on the DME button and copied them to the Scotland folder of P3D V4 (see EGPO_ADEP4_AH files appended), then renamed the mentioned original airport BGL.

 

If the problem results from my specific installation or a corrupted ORBX BGL, please forget this threat.

If the problem is more general, in my opinion, ORBX should correct the DME setting in EGPO BGL generally.

 

regards, Achmed

Hello,

apparently the Orbx version uses the stock data and that has no DME or glideslope.

Probably the data dates from before 2006.

Strange... I found charts from sept 2004 that show a LOC/DME, so the data dates must be older.

OK, I bought P3D in version 4.2 and didn't update the scenery part since then.

 

But why could I activate the DME in the ORBX BGL ?

I didn't change the P3D original BGL.

Or does it mean, the ORBX BGL is derived from the stock data and therefore from < 2006 ?

 

Nevertheless, as I have some other complaints (taxiways), I used a christmas sale to get EGPO from sim720 .

Now I have even an ILS - and actual taxiways - although LOC/DME would have been sufficient for my purposes.
