Frq |
frequency in mc -> 113.45 freq. range VOR 108.0 ... 117.975 mc
freq. range ILS 108.0 ... 111.975 mc |
Rng |
range in 2048 meter units. This is somewhat larger than a mile
(1nm = 1852m). Only integer values up to 255 are accepted.
It seems FS5 can handle this, but the DME display will only show "99" as a
maximum. |
Flags |
2 digit hex value
01 |
DME availabe bit |
02 |
TACAN (set DME bit also!) |
04 |
voice available (ID ? ATIS ?) |
08 |
no NAV signal available
(-> 09 is DME without VOR) |
10 |
DME at glideslope transmitter position bit |
20 |
localiser back course not available |
40 |
glideslope transmitter ON bit |
80 |
localizer on ON bit
This bit is on for normal ILS, OFF for VOR and SDF (simplified directional
facility) |
example values: 00 or 02 -> VOR 01 or 03 -> VOR-DME, VORTAC
|
Magvar |
magnetic variation (eg.-3.7). Only for VOR.
Normally 0 for ILS. If 0 the VOR/ILS is aligned with true north.
To get a nav receiver readout which corresponds to your compass you should enter
the magnetic variation. This gives the VOR the same error than your compass. |
ID |
ID string, up to 5 characters |
Name |
Name string, up to 24 characters. Use '_' in place of ' '. |
Lat |
latitude |
Lon |
longitude |
Elev |
elevation in meters (MSL, integer) |
Hdg |
heading (true) in degrees (ILS only, always 0 for VOR) |
Slope |
slope angle of GP transmitter -> 3.0
Note: There is a known problem with the slope in the southern hemisphere in
FS5.0 and FS5.0a. |
width |
Beam width in degrees.
Found values are from 2.8 to 9.2 degrees. |
