Question on ILS landing with instruments
-
well, in a very technical sense, none of the legs I planned and flew were on radials from any station. I just drew a flight plan like a connect-the-dots using the IAFs which are placed on the map.
In a very practical sense, I guess it would be a lot easier to plan the flight like you described, only going from airport to airport.
EDIT: Yes, my legs were not on a radial from or to a TACAN station. I dont actually have the aegean theater installed, and Ive been flying stock korea at the moment. That chart looks rather handy to have for that theater though.

Well in order to do this, means to connect the IAFs in order to fly direct from one to an other, 2 things must count:
- the chart be under scale
- to make a very good measure of the angle of the connection line of the IAFs as also of their distance.
The previous chart that i was shown to you is under scale, but i didn’t include the IAFs. It can be done there your action but for all the rest NavAids ;).

I was being a bit factious …… any course you are on is on a radial from something; the moreso if there is a TACAN station (or stations) near by. It’s wasn’t meant to be a question of whether you planned or plotted it, but a statement of physical fact.
-
No, this is incorrect. Any great circle course one is on is a radial of something, but as I am only concerned with radials of TACAN stations in Falcon, we need only concern ourselves with radials of TACAN stations.
And whilst any point on the course can be said to lie on a radial from any of the stations, none of the legs involved can be said to lie on any specific radial.
For posterity; The legs in question were Draggin to Munmuk, to Karbu, to Kangwon, to Namae. If you can find any of those legs follow a radial, Ill be very surprised.

I’d suggest the following video for learning a procedure approach properly.
Tim does (AFAIK) an excellent job.

Wow. The thread grew a bit. since my last comment. Oh, VORS. hehe. all is well still in BMS.

there are BMS enroute chart for korea as well…

and soon to be released EMF - still wip but greece is done
http://users.skynet.be/bs999158/MAPEMF/index2.htmlAlso: any stpt (ins, ppt, line, bullseye) can behave like a tacan as well. Just put the hsi mode to nav and fly along radials from the steerpoint of interest.
they don’t radiate, but navigation principles are the sameAs for not collocated tacan, check carefully the maps above

That’s a beautiful improvement on the old one I was using: http://www.combatsimchecklist.net/MAPKOREA/
Do the TACAN without airbase really exist in BMS?

Not in 4.32

that’s the 3-4 weeks next version map
and once released, all that’s on the map will exist -

that’s why the old one is still online

http://www.candyparty.com/ST/BMS_KOREA_interactive/index2.htmlàNice work Red Dog. Quick remark though. When I click a standalone VORTAC I get this “IATA: ABC” in the datablock. IATA only issues 3-letter IDs to airlines and airports [EDIT: I got carried away as well -> 2 letter for airlines]. The 3-letter IDs for navaids have nothing to do with IATA
-
very true, i Wonder where i get that - i must have been buying airline tickets when i did that

Wrong, yes we can have non collocated to airports TACAN stations inside Falcon BMS 4.32.
Just wait a little to see them inside the new Aegean theater ;).

Nikos.I actually never played Aegean, but good to know !

Nikos.I think that question was related to my maps - most specifically Korea certainly?
IMHO
don’t bother creating unexisting airbase to have a tacan
that will be much more elegant (and safer to code) once 4.33 is released … for those who can waitfor thos who can’t no problem - spend the time doing it and be ready to redo it once 4.32 disappear

Thank you for the infos.
I already added some of them, so if i have the luck that the Aegean theater be conformal with the upcoming BMS 4.33, then no problem for me to do it again ;).

I fly BMS 4.33 and in Balkan theatre, I find out the f-16 I was flying did not have the usual nav/ILS /tacan switch on the HSI. It was an F-16 Cm 50 block. I have search the forum for a related discussion but could not find any, the place is blank . Read the manual where it says some aircraft use the EGI system for navigation alignment. Can someone help me out on where the switch to nav tacan and ILS.
