*************   WELCOME TO CARTAYNA FILES  *************
Where every friday something new comes to our configuration files!
******************************************************
Hello everybody,

Today is the turn to  KDEN - Denver, CO by Flightbeam brought thanks to the our friends www.SimMarket.com, and www.simflight.de.  This configuration I bring you, one of my favorite sceneries that by far brings the night fliying to its best experience as possible.  This developer is probably my favorite in terms of the use of textures and dynamic light. This last, makes night flying to this aiport as good as it gets. Not only because of its dramatism but also because they do have a great technique when it comes the time to do individual parking lighting but also they manage somehow to reduce the impact of their dynamico lights to 0 (at least in my pc). Due to the ton of hours that Belgrade has taken me, I wont be able to share this with you today, but perhaps in a couple of weeks will be ready to go.. Will make a rare exception and add this in a new publication when is ready.. soon!  

I hear that the moment of the release of KORD is around the corner, I don't know if you have seen the latest videos that have been shared lately, what I saw today, left me astonished. Judge for yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DEYSUpgTcE

Have a great weekend. All the best!

First, thanks for All the work you put into these projects.   I am really enjoying your work with LYBE.  I did notice one discrepancy, the ILS facilities (stock) are missing the DME.  I added them using ADE but thought I'd mention it in case you wanted to modify your AFCAD file.

Best wishes,
Tim

Don't go crazy... based on the charts, the stock ILS won't let you put the DME in the right place anyway.  It appears that the DME transmitter for the ILS is colocated with the GS Antenna (so that your DME readout shows distance to the landing threshold rather than the far end of the runway).    While I added DME using ADE, I haven't yet figured out how to adjust the lat/long for the DME to put it where I want it.

Hi Tim,
Don't you worry, I have passed way beyond the point of going crazy years ago. I was inmeresed in something really crazy and did not wanted to switch tasks in case I runned the risk of not knowing what i was doing when returned. Managed to make a break in that project and made the new afcad with all the possible navaids you might need for this field.  Please test it for me since I am running short of time to do so myself. If it works I will show you the trick on how to do it in case you need it one day.  Did not add the outer and med marker for I believe those are not needed anymore in the AFcads.
LYBE has been updated in the link, but i here also add the new Afcad with all this goodies in it. New Afcad link (just the Afcad): https://1drv.ms/u/s!AhTH-vsr5l8bkKhBxq8Sr94WTIisAQ?e=FgNBOp

I also leave you here a txt (which is really an xml file) that has all the added navaids with their freq and all relevant data, please confirm that my freq are up to date, you never know. the rest is 100% precise.

Cheers.

Hi!

Love all the navaids you added, but the issue still remains that the localizers for ILS 12 (YUB 110.3) and ILS 30 (YBE 109.9) are supposed to have DME functionality as well.  And the lat/lon for the DME transmitter should be colocated with the GS transmitter, rather than the localizer, so that the DME readout reflects the distance to the touchdown point.

I suspect the way to accomplish this is to add the new ILS with DME for each runway, then go in and edit the underlying XML to change the DME location, then compile from there.  I'm going to try that.

Edit:  After reading forums for ADE for a while I'm not sure this is possible, because I want to use the same frequency and ID as the stock navaids.   Perhaps I can add JUST a DME for the ILS.   Anyway, it's not worth worrying about... probably better to have NO DME than to have the DME in the wrong place so that the readings don't match the charts.


-Tim

Silly me, you explained it perfectly the first time, yes, indeed, the only way to do that is to compile with the option to do it in xml format, then open a frexh ADE and build from the edited xml file where you copypaste the lat/lon of the ils.. is this what you wanted? attached pics and new afcad. let me know if it works.

Hi,
Maybe I'm doing something wrong but in the LYBE cargo terminal as well as the JAT technical areas I get just black spots instead of the buildings that were supposed to be there.
Perhaps there are some library files that I'm missing??

I dont think, so. I do not use objects from libraries (the ones that are from SkyHighSim I could swear i placed them in the scenery and texture), and to make sure you guys get the same result as i do, i pack the folder of the modified scenery after finnishing.. Tim, do you have the same problem?
I will check with a friend that installed it later on. 
(a capture of that always helps)
cheers.

Those are the areas I was referring to. I remember some hangars were present where that cluster of black rectangles is.
Again, there's a good chance that its me doing something wrong, though I really don't know what...

Not quite, though this gave me what I think is the solution.  The DME needs to be colocated with the GS in order to give the proper readouts.  So, what I did was:
1 - open the ADE BGL, and convert the ILS to ILS/DME for each runway, leaving the placements alone.  (as you noted in your post)
2 - Compile this to a new BGL and XML file
3 - Edit the XML file to set the DME locations to match the GS locations for each ILS
4 - Open a new project using the edited XML file as the source.   Compile this to a new ADE BGL file

Going to test that this evening... in the middle of a long flight at the moment.  I'm hopeful - the compiled XML file from step 4 has the right data in it, so it didn't get overwritten.

Will check tonight, but I didn't notice any issues when I flew in there.  And I'm pretty sure I'd have noticed.

yes, i was thinking about putting the glidesolpe lat/lon on the Dme's of the ILS's instead of the one of the ILS, but since you did not mention that, .. decided to follow your instructions to the line.
Yes, what you suggest is exactly what you need to do, since i want to have the scenery up in the cloud correctly i will do it myself, it takes me a minute, and dont want to loose any of the exclusions.
I found what the problem with his buildings is, he has the libraries also activated. should have mention that he must not have them, but if you are flying to another skyhighsim scenery, you will need them or he should just throw those libries into each of the SHS scenery, they are tiny and they only  made 3.  Maybe I should have done a better job with that, i will update the instructions on that regard.
Thanks Tim.

Actually I thought of that and deactivated the libraries before I posted, but it made no difference.
I had an older install of LYBE which I deleted by mistake and have not reinstalled since. Is it possible there are leftovers somewhere in the sims core?
