What the heck are these dots which make up circles and have a KHZ frequency?

Thanks for the link. After google searching it seems that modern fixed wings cant use them even if they wanted to.

That might be taking it a bit too far. The F/A-18C, for example, does have an ADF (Automatic Direction Finder) that's for use with NDBs, but it's not really a primary system. It works through one of the radios and I'm not entirely sure if it works in DCS, mostly because - granted - you usually will have easier methods of navigation in all modern jets.
