Lord_Nibbo Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 RAF Scampton EGXP ILS Landings? Have I found another flaw in FSX. Runway 4 Scampton the ILS frequency is 110.50 but so is Runway 21 in nearby Waddington . Every time I try and land using ILS at Scampton I pick up the ILS but when I get a little way down the glide slope the plane turns right and heads for Waddington. Does anyone else get this problem?

meshman2 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 There is no ILS at the default EGXP, so how could it be a flaw in FSX? You should apologize to Microsoft before your next flight. Now if you have an add on for that airport and whomever made it put in an ILS without checking the surrounding area, then you might write them a note and ask them to fix their flaw...

Lord_Nibbo Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 "There is no ILS at the default EGXP" FSX does have an ILS on runway 04, So if your version of FSX dosen't then you must have files missing. Just look at the map in FSX and you will see. The exact same thing happens on trying to land at Waddington runway 21 on hitting the glide slope the aircraft veers off to the right.

mrzippy Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 This is what I show for EGXP FSX default. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrzippy Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 OK, now I found an AFCAD for EGXP and added it to my FSX so now Scampton is called Scampton AB with and ILS for runway 5. We just have to figure out what update you chose! Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
il88pp Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 No ILS at default EGXP. Also, it's runway 05, not 04 as you said in first post. If your map looks different you have an addon installed. Also, doesn't the blue on your map mean water? Here's the default: map egxp: [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davecook Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Default military airfields in FSX are refered to as, for example, Scampton AB. If your airfield is called RAF Scampton then it must be an addon.

Lord_Nibbo Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 I use Horizon VFR Scenery with UK2000 Airfields. In map view the land slowly disappears when I open it but that dosen't bother me as I never use it. I use FSTramp or FSCommander. I believe both Scampton and Waddington have had runways re-numbered in recent years but in my FSX it is definately 04 at Scampton looking at this pic you may notice both Scampton and Waddington have the same frequency one must be a mistake and the cause of the problem I have trying to land at either Scampton or Waddington.

mrzippy Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 You may have to contact the scenery developer(s) about the ILS frequency discrepancies. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_Nibbo Posted November 7, 2015 Author Share Posted November 7, 2015 Take a look at this screen pic of FSTramp https://www.flickr.com/photos/lord_nibbo/22867983651/sizes/o/ it's to big for this forum hence the link. Now I don't believe my eyes deceive my but I see runway 04.

il88pp Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Either change the frequency and fix the Addon in 5 mins using ADE, or report it to the developer and wait for a reply.:) [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeyd Posted November 8, 2015 Share Posted November 8, 2015 ILS/DME at Scampton is Rwy 04 'I-SC' 108.3. [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Mickey D Team SDB Scenery Bloke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 ILS/DME at Scampton is Rwy 04 'I-SC' 108.3. Just flew in and out of there with ORBX FTX. Beautiful place but I'm glad it was a pretty clear night. As Scampton has no ILS. Being an old chopper guy I usually fly low and slow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mithras Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 In the Pooley's Flight Guide 2007, Scampton does not have any ILS listing at all, unlike Waddington, Coningsby and Mildenhall. So I wonder if it has one now, and UK2000 added one to it? I use the 2007 guide, and am stuck in that year, because its FSX default! - Paul Elliott [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] Come and follow my recreation of this historic light here: HERE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
