How to land if you can't see the runway?

Ah, so not just me then.

I did find out earlier today, via google, that the Mosquito has an early version of ILS with a supposedly working dial in the cockpit (it was added in either 4.10 or 4.11), but I've never seen it do anything. Presumably the beacons have to be scripted into the missions?

"Scripted" in the sense that they have to be added via the FMB(mission builder).

You can use the Lorenz Beacon(Long runway or regular), or the AN/MRN-1.

I'm not familiar with the gauge in the Mosquito, but most blind landing gauges show signal strength(I.E. proximity to the beacon), not glideslope information(With the exception of a B25 coupled with the AN/MRN-1).


To help keep yourself aligned with the runway, it helps to know its heading(easily found by spawning on the runway with a takeoff waypoint, add 180 for landing in the other direction). You can rotate your compass(provided the aircraft supports this) with the appropriate keys, so you can keep it pointing forward when aligned.
