Tutorial video: Full ILS approach procedure
-
Weird that they dont make it more intuitive.Make it act exactly like the steer point and voila its perfect.I guess its a computer that calculates all that and when the hud is gone so is that computer.
ILS is an older technology than command steering; it dates back to the 1940s, before computers were small enough to be in airplanes. So ILS is very simple … if the localizer course is to your left, the needle swings left … if the course is to your right, the needle swings right. No calculations, no math – entirely mechanical.

Do you have the TE you used to make the video? It may help to shoot the same approach.
I do, but it really isn’t much of a TE… just some steerpoints that take you out of Choongwon, around the FLOT, and back in to Choongwon. You start in the air near the FLOT. Turn back around and start as I do in the video. I’ve included the .twx file but for real IFR conditions you’ll have to decrease the weather even more – right now it’s basically VFR under the cloud deck.

Thanks for an excellent tutorial.
About minute 26:20 you are checking wind direction and speed. Can you explain how to see this information on the DED?
-
Move the dobber to SEQ when on the home DED page.
-
Home DED page is when you set the DED to the airport steerpoint?
-
Well, you can actually set the steerpoint on many DED pages. The home page is the page you get to when you move the DCS dobber to RET.

Thanks, got it now.

Nice work

Excellent ! Thank´s !
More more more… -
Thank you.
-
Any chance you could make a tuto on how to use a Navigation Heading/Bearing/Intercept wheel ? plizzzz.
Thanx -
Very well done.

it’s a great work ,and very useful to me , thanks .

Wow, really nice!
I think you mixed up DA with MDA (Minimum Descent Altitude) which is normally used on non-precision approaches.
Decision Height is only used on CAT II-III approaches, where the ground leading up to the runway is flat enough to allow use of radio altimiter.
I could be wrong since I don’t fly F-16’s in real life! -
Thank you very much…

Excellent tut m8!
