Are you talking about this (http://www.ofpec.com/ed_depot/index.php?action=details&id=431&page=1&cat=xyz) ILS?

That ILS requires a real runway configured in the island map you are using, it doesnt work with runways you may create artificially placing objects over the map.

You may try also this (http://www.ofpec.com/forum/index.php?topic=29300.0), which will work for any runway you want to create, roads, etc. But in this case the very last aproach and landing is automatic.

snap :( well ill check it out, sounds interesting. i have another quick ( extreme noob :( ) question, i been trying to get my respawns to work but they just wont do it, does anybody have a copy and paste description.ext for me? and also the markers that i need to set as the respawn point, are literally markers, like the ones you can place in game as a player???

respawn = "BASE"

respawn_west, respawn_east, respawn_guerrila, respawn_civilian marker names for troops.
respawn_vehicle_west, respawn_vehicle_east, respawn_vehicle_guerrila, respawn_vehicle_civilian for vehicles.

Hey Mandoble, does the respawn vehicle names work without a extra script? i.E are they hardcoded into Arma?
Do i just have a description.ext setup correctly and a marker saying respawn_vehicle_west in it?
So all destroyed vehicles will respawn in that marker?

If you are using respawn type BASE for these markers then I assume only vehicles marked as respawnable using respawnVehicle command will respawn there. As far as I rember you may also add more respawn markers for a side: respawn_vehicle_west1, respawn_vehicle_west2, etc, in that case the respawn position is choosen randomly from these.
