COBS Posted May 21, 2019 Share Posted May 21, 2019 The weather in Germany during the airlift was unpredictable at times . For those interested in re enacting airlift flights the following video of the recently created GCA arrangement in zero visibility might be of interest. I created the Synthetic ILS instrument ( lower right hand ) that was utilised by another developer in the creation of the GCA instrument , I think that what he has achieved is rather wonderful . Turn the volume up . Cheers Karol PS Description of my Synthetic ILS instrument follows : " Instrument enables selection of any of the 24,491 Airports that exist in Flt Sim database , then selection of any Runway at that Airport, then selection of either Rwy end. Airports can be selected at any global distance from aircraft. Distance Bearing and Steering arrow are displayed,the ILS aimpoint is computed at 6% of relevant Runway length and the ILS is full precision with usual ILS Deviation bars text data includes current, Glideslope, Height above Runway, Distance to touchdown aimpoint, offset (Circuit Width)from Runway centerline,full Airport name and details , enables precise rectangular standard circuits to be flown , also enables an Intercept position to be set at any desired distance prior to ILS aimpoint to easily align aircraft with the Runway. Also includes MARK POSITION capture of any location on earth and generation of a Synthetic Runway, ie. a paddock,a beach, a river, lake, sea, hardened rooftop or bridge, and subsequent ILS approach at that location. the default ILS Glideslope is the usual 3.00 degrees but any angle can be set. Can be used in any aircraft, Helicopter, cropduster, float plane, or fire fighting aircraft. 16 page notes PDF, an Airports ICAO PDF, and several descriptive screenshots.
