Neon67 Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 (edited) Hi After playing with the Sabre, I was wondering . Can the A10 do some good old radio navigation : NDB and Vor ? How does it work ? edit : http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=128493 Edited August 16, 2014 by Neon67 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
effte Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 It has TACAN (which essentially gives you the functionality of VOR/DME, but with slightly better precision for the bearing), DME (which is part of the TACAN system anyway) and ILS. You can do it all, but not using VOR or NDB beacons. In the US, I think it is approved to use GPS in lieu of NDBs. If you want to practise NDB navigation, wait for the Nevada map. You can't do it over Georgia, as you'd never break regulations in the virtual world, right? :) ----- Introduction to UTM/MGRS - Trying to get your head around what trim is, how it works and how to use it? - DCS helos vs the real world.

Neon67 Posted August 16, 2014 Author Share Posted August 16, 2014 I think you might be able to use VOR, as it's almost the same system as the ILS, if I am not wrong. But need some test. UHF homing and adf should be working however Radio and Gps navigation can still be combined also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elchacal Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Have in mind that not all the airports have TACAN antennas installed. Only military airports. So you would have to check the navigation chart to get the frequency and to be sure that there's a TACAN antenna in the airport.

By the way VOR is also far from being any similar to ILS. It (sometimes) uses the same instrument in cockpit, that is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
