Title: Re: ILS DME
Post by Abcdeflijus on Jan 28th, 2021 at 3:12am
Thank you Markoz for taking your time, appreciate it.
Now I am confused a little. I guess it's Deja Vu  ::)
I have navigraph subscription and use their charts for flying and on all of the runways it says ILS DME. But P3D V4.5 is not supported by navigraph and very often frequencies are different in the simulator than in the charts. Not a big problem, just need to check frequencies in the sim map before flying. Anyway Frankfurt airport is a little bit strange. As in real world and on charts it has 3 runways 25. L, C and R. But in P3D there is runway 26L also, which is not a separate runway, but some kind of extension to runway 25 L. And there is actually two sets of PAPI lights and even marking 26L further on the runway :) Well, doesn't matter, if it also doesn't show distance for you, then it's definitely not problem with plane or total overhaul and I am happy. Just curious, is this normal in real world not always have DME reading for ILS? How to know then how far you are from the runway? I always tune to some local VOR on second NAV, but it's not an exact reading as it can be located in any position related to runway. Or just need to trust GS and radio altimeter?
