Airbase info Baltic
-
Hello, do approach charts exist for Baltic?
Info like radio frequencies, ILS info etc. If not charts then a list of frequencies could be helpful.
Cheers
JaybAny theater comes with a AddonXXX\Campaign\stations+ils.dat file that includes the requested infos if no AIP charts are available
File format is as follows: # # <campaign id=""><tacan ch#=""><tacan band=""><callsign><range><tacan_type>\ # <tower_freq_uhf><tower_freq_vhf><runway1_ils_freq><runway2_ils_freq><runway3_ils_freq>\ # <runway4_ils_freq><ops_freq_uhf><ground_freq_uhf><approach_freq_uhf><lso_freq_uhf><atis_freq_vhf># <tower_frag><ground frag=""><approach frag=""><atis station="" frag=""># ESDF Ronneby (ILS order: 19, 01, -, -) DME as TACAN added to get ILS in use 2 001 X 999 0 1 0 119200 10830 11070 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0</atis></approach></ground></tower_frag></atis_freq_vhf></lso_freq_uhf></approach_freq_uhf></ground_freq_uhf></ops_freq_uhf></runway4_ils_freq></runway3_ils_freq></runway2_ils_freq></runway1_ils_freq></tower_freq_vhf></tower_freq_uhf></tacan_type></range></callsign></tacan></tacan></campaign>

not sure if WDP uses station+ils.dat or it’s own Database/Airport.xml file

What is making you thinking so, dear oak?
Just seems you’re thinking to something in particular… and I am a native curious, you know.
With best regards.

I’m just thinking that there are 2 files containing basically similar set of data and I’m not sure which one of the 2 WDP is using. As WDP would know which theater is loaded therefore it would know which station+ils.dat to look into. On the other hand why should it be shipped with its own xml file. But the WDP xml would not know if anything in the theater station+ils.dat would have changed. Didn’t have the time to check by simple chaning values in both files and see which one is in the end shown read by WDP
Edit Ok just did a quick test. changed the Ground frequency of an AB in station+ils.dat and loaded a previous save with WDP. as this save hasn’t been touched in BMS it’s clear the freq itself isn’t stored in the cam file and WDP reads at least for values like freq tacan ils from the station.ils.dat in the campaign folder of the theater

Open MC, load the any mission. On the map move the cursor over any airport and you will get the most relevant data in a yellow box.
More extensive data can be found in the Stations tab.About WDP. It uses both a own database as well as the stations+ils.dat file.
As WDP can run as a complete stand alone on a separate PC, it has its own database.
This database contains more information than the stations+ils.dat file though.
The WDP own database is also needs to show you the aiport info as well as creating the ATIS.
This database is fully open of anybody to manage and add your theater/airports.Gr Falcas

IF WDP can find the airport in the stations+ils.dat. Meaning all pointers are correct, WDP will use the data from the stations+ils.dat and NOT the values from its own database.
This way WDP will always show you the values as in game.
In case you see something different, that might be a little 6 leg creature in the codeGr Falcas

Thanks for clarifying the role of the .dat file, Falcas. And of course, thanks for the wonderful tools!

I know I will need to work on that for Falcas to include this in WDP…
But…
I tried to match as much as possible real life info…
