RodBorza Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) One of the nice details I've discovered about this aircraft is that if you select and NDB station from a Preset ADF frequency present on the Helo, besides all the usual indications for doing Radio Navigation, the Station you selected will appear as a Direct-To point on the TSD and HMD. Cool little detail that helps a lot flying instrument approaches. Here is the approach to Kutaisi. Edited March 23, 2022 by RodBorza This is an amazing sim! 'Nuff said!:pilotfly: YouTube: SloppyDog
Ramsay Posted March 23, 2022 Posted March 23, 2022 One thing that confuses me in my navigation test mission set in Georgia is that having tuned to Senaki, the aircraft has a habit of retuning to Batumi. i9 9900K @4.8GHz, 64GB DDR4, RTX4070 12GB, 1+2TB NVMe, 6+4TB HD, 4+1TB SSD, Winwing Orion 2 F-15EX Throttle + F-16EX Stick, TPR Pedals, TIR5, Win 11 Pro x64, Odyssey G93SC 5120X1440
RodBorza Posted March 23, 2022 Author Posted March 23, 2022 After you selected Senaki, did you press the "Tune" option? I was having the same problem until I read on the manual that you have to press that darn little button on the TSD. This is an amazing sim! 'Nuff said!:pilotfly: YouTube: SloppyDog
Frederf Posted March 24, 2022 Posted March 24, 2022 If you're not in range of the NDB in navigation mode it will revert back to the last tuning. If you switch to ANT (antenna) mode then it will not revert on insufficient signal. 1 1

If you switch to ANT (antenna) mode then it will not revert on insufficient signal. That's likely it - flying from Kutaisi, I'm much closer to Senaki than Batumi but suspect there are momentary signal drops i.e. re-tuning immediately reacquires Senaki's NDB (as a flight of 2, my wingman saw the same behaviour but switched stations at different times). Will need to retest using ANT mode to be 100% sure - ANT mode isn't useful for anything other than audio ID as it doesn't display direction on the compass rose or heading tape. Setting a manual frequency didn't switch to Batumi in flight but I'd entered the Senaki NDB more than once in testing, so perhaps that fixed it.

ED Team Solution Raptor9 Posted March 24, 2022 ED Team Solution Posted March 24, 2022 Whatever frequency you tune the ADF to, whether manually or using a preset, the ADF should remain on that frequency regardless of the presence of a signal or not, or what mode it is in (ANT/ADF). If it is changing frequencies without player input, it's a bug. 1 1 Afterburners are for wussies...hang around the battlefield and dodge tracers like a man. DCS Rotor-Head

And are you sure it was automatic, in your photo I can see a difference in where your homeplate is and where the NDB is?
