Fly! Innsbruck 1.0

Abstract

This Fly! 2K database update enables you to Fly! IFR around Innsbruck / Austria (LOWI / INN). The standard Fly! 2K database lacks various navigational aids including two localizers and one NDB. This database update emulates both localizers with terminal VORs due to limitations in Fly! 2K. You need to dial in the correct OBS before using any one of these “localizers”.

System Requirements

Fly! 2K (Fly! 1.0)
Fly! DB-Import tool
Any Mac or PC capable of running Fly! 2K

This update has not been tested with Fly! II (Fly! 2.0), but it might work. If you try this update with Fly! II, please send me your results to arne@thaw.de!

Version History

Version 1.0, 2003-10-23

Switched the OEV implementation from a “phantom runway” ILS to a VOR/DME because I was neither able to receive the ILS overhead RTT (D26 OEV) nor able to create a 4.0 ° glide slope (Fly! seem to use 3.0 ° regardless of the actual figures in the ILS database).
Added PAPI left and right of both RWYs 26 and 08.
Improved general RWY and approach lighting.
Changed the DB keys to something sensible.

Version 0.8, 2003-02-08

Created a “phantom runway” ILS to simulate the LLZ offset.

Version 0.1, 2001-03-01

First public release.

Known Issues

Both localizers have been implemented as VOR/DMEs (omnidirectional with no glide slope sender).
Both markers beacons have been implemented as standard outer and middle markers, respectively.

Don't expect any development regarding these problems. I do not know how to fix them.

Future Plans

Add additional approach lighting (20 white flashing lights 4900 m to 600 m from THR 26).
Convert a chart of the immediate vicinity of Innsbruck for use with Fly!'s moving map window.
Create ground scenery for the Innsbruck area.
Create airport buildings scenery.
Create additional obstruction models along the valley.

The approach lighting and the chart will be done soon, but I depend on certain THAWsoftware products for that. The scenery will probably be more difficult; any help is appreciated.

Charts

This update does not contain any charts or other information on the Innsbruck instrument procedures. I use some free charts from the SASFSS project, but they do not seem to be available on the web anymore. You may be able to find other charts at the following sources:

LOWI OEV GS

There has been some confusion on whether or not the OEV localizer (RWY 26) is equipped with a glide slope sender (331.7 MHz / 4.0 °) in real life. I've found a photo of the GS installation on JetPhotos.Net, so it should be pretty clear now that the OEV localizer indeed has a glide slope sender. However, there is another localizer near Innsbruck which does not have a glide slope (that's OEJ, used for the West Procedure).
