Airfield Beacons?

[Gambit21]

How does this functionality work?

I mean...I don't see an MCU in the editor - does each airfield automatically have one?

 

I don't see anything in the manual Jim - unless I'm missing it.

See "Mark the Airfield with a Radio Homing Beacon" on pg. 58.

Argh...how did I miss that.

Thanks

Get yourself a fresh one. It's changed a lot from the draft that I sent to you.

Oooh...can't wait.

Do you have to link the Translator Icon to the beacon? Manual doesn't say anything about that.

No, the icon translator is optional and can be used to mark the beacon on the map. I will update the manual to make these points clear.

Okay. Thanks. Great manual by the way. Covers a lot. I appreciate the effort.

Thanks TempestV.

While we're on the subject, Han recently said in an answer to a question that the ability to assign different channels to each NDB - and be able to tune the nav instruments in aircraft - is already in the game, but un-activated. He hurrumphed grumpily that mission builders aren't using the single activated channel correctly, so why activate something more "complex"? 

 

Perhaps lots of begging posts and questions to developers might persuade them to turn it all on? More navigation options would add another very welcome dimension to the sim, in my humble opinion!

What servers Han flies on? TAW has NDB in it's missions. Don't know about others.

 

I hardly believe that they put a lot of efforts to implement multi-channel NDB and then deliberately deactivated it.

Well if it is not on-please turn it on, Developers. Just flip the switch HAHAHAAH

Well...

From the horse's mouth! 

 

Yes, may be right after Kuban. Channel's in radio beacons are allready coded, and in radio finders too, but not used for now because even current 1-channel simple system is forgotten by MP mission authors. They do not set NDBs in their missions.
