One mod that would really perk up this sim...

ADF especially in the Pacific.

ADF was available. It was nothing but a signal/tone but it was viable for navigation.

I love it in the CFS2, because you can build missions where you set waypoints for AI and fly ADF for player. I never set but a couple waypoints for the player in CFS2, except to WARP to action area and return to base and land quickly after the action is over.

I wouldn't know if it is possible, because it would require a signal coming from the different airbases and a way to tune the signals in the player aircraft. Regardless, anything would be better than having to access the MAP to know where the heck you're going.

ADF already works in AC that have radio compass. In coop or single player (any map with waypoints marked).

You have to fly to each WP before it will switch to the next , ( a mod to advance WP beacon when you give "Next waypoint" command would be cool.)

This is a sort of a cheat because it's unlikely that there is a beacon over each waypoint (especially in enemy territory !! )

You can simulate a single beacon located at your home base by putting only a waypoint in your mission (adfter takeoff), just where the home base is. In this way the indicator should always point towards your home base.

I don't think that full use of ADF can be implemented by any mod, probably the IL-2 engine does not fully manage navaids with their location, frequency, etc....

I personally would love to have an NDB as it's properly named.

The ADF is the instrument itself and is already present, the beacon is called Non Directional Beacon.

That aside, yeah, I've tried making PAPI lights for IL-2 but it kinda won't work simply because of the limitation of the graphics in the game....

Keep the info coming please :wink:

hmm strange

I copied the PAPI of EDHE (Hamburg International) It works...not blinking and flashing like a disco but it looks nice when you approaches at 00:00 in an he 111 in misty wheather and you have just these lights in front of you
