TacPack carrier ILS presets for Simwork Studios carriers ?

Hello,

It's a pretty specific question, but with no luck on VRS forum and SWS facebook page I'll try my luck here...
Has anybody some sets of parameters (localizer, glide slope, and x,y,z offsets) for the ILS configuration of the Simwork Studios carriers? They have three carriers : the Midway 1975, and the Coral Sea 1965 and 1973.
I remember SWS posted some infos regarding TP configuration on their forum, but their website has been down for quite a while now...

Thanks for any help,
cheers

There is a Midway section included in the RFN_Carrier.xml file of the RFN Carrier Gauge.

It is for the USS-Midway-1975-zip by gp183601 but it might be of use for some coordinates to be applied to the SWS version.
The TCN coords are for the center of the ship and the ILS coords are for the center of the arrestor cables. The frequency is specific to the RFN gauge.

Code: 
<Carrier Name="USS Midway" 
Sim_Name="Midway_1975"
CarrierType="1"
Category="USN Carrier"
Frequency="110.80"
Language="US"
RunwayAngle="12.00"
GS_Angle="4.5"
ILS_Xcoord="-2.35"
ILS_Ycoord="17.25"
ILS_Zcoord="-132.0"
TCN_Xcoord="19.00"
TCN_Ycoord="52.00"
TCN_Zcoord="-31.00"
Sim_Name_Helo="none"
Helo_Bearing="0"
Helo_Distance="0"/>
Hope this helps.

Thanks a lot Frank, it does help!
At least for the glide slope and runway angle.
For the rest I still have to find out what to do with these numbers.
Tacpack needs x, y and elevation (z) offsets in meters with respect to the center of the ship.
I guess ILS_Ycoord="17.25" could refer to the elevation?
I'll post the numbers once (if) I sort this out.

Cheers
