Which airstrips have ILS? Which airstrips are USA/coalition? TonyM

 

 

 

 

All airstrips have ILS, but you won't see it unless you are in the (approx) right place. This nice picture (credit to Teka-Teka who made it) is helpful. Dual-strip airbases (eg. Sochi-Adler) will only land you on one of the strips and only have ILS on that strip.

Note that wind (dependent on direction and strength) set up in the mission can make the landing direction swap to the other end of the runway and the ILS swaps accordingly, so check that before you fly.

 

As for whether airbases are friendly or enemy, they are all "neutral" until you put aircraft on them. So if you were to set up a simple single player mission with (for example) your Ukrainian player aircraft taking off from Kerch and enemy Russian AI taking off from Krasnodar. You have your dogfight somewhere in between the two bases. Lockon would see Kerch as Ukrainian and Krasnodar as Russian and all other bases as neutral. AI aircraft when they run low on fuel will land at the nearest friendly or neutral airbase. That could mean that your Ukrainian AI wingmen could land at Anapa (which is not very realistic since it is in Russia).

 

A way to prevent the AI from landing where you don't want them to is to place an enemy aircraft on the unused airbases, setting their takeoff time to be a couple of days in the future (so it never appears and never interferes with the balance of your mission).

Incidentally, this forum is kinda quiet these days for Lockon stuff.

 

You may get quicker answers over at the forum at http://www.lockonfiles.com You'll need to register, but it is the primary English language Lockon Community site (for Aircraft Skins, Missions, Mods, tweaks, utilities, etc so likely you will want to go there anyway.....
