"Realistic Navigation" - yellow light

[rollnloop]

Some of you may not know but nearly all civil flights are landed today by the aircraft's onboard computer which may or may not make you sleep easier

Can be landed under certain conditions not too often met true, are landed wrong. 13 years in airline, only a couple autolands (dozens in the sim though).

Thanks for links, some interesting read there

At the risk of sounding irritated like a father talking to a wandering-mind child, this thread is about the simulation IL-2 1946 version with the feature "Realistic Navigation". Obviously I am using the feature. To suggest I get the patch insults my intelligence.

Being 71 years old my patience does have limits.

It is not about the real world. I repeat, it is not about the real world.

It is mentioned that my FS2004 flight is in the daytime. Of course it is ! As a CFI would you have a student take his first ILS lesson in bad weather or night time ?

Instrument meteorological conditions (IMC) is an aviation flight category that describes weather conditions that require pilots to fly primarily by reference to instruments, and therefore under Instrument Flight Rules (IFR), rather than by outside visual references under Visual Flight Rules (VFR). Typically, this means flying in cloud or bad weather. Pilots sometimes train to fly in these conditions with the aid of products like Foggles, specialized glasses that restrict outside vision, forcing the student to rely on instrument indications only.

So within the limits of IL-2 "Realistic Navigation" we have:

For the Luftwaffe:





For the USAAF:



I have confined myself to these limits.

I ask you to please do the same.
