David Wong Posted May 20, 2013 Share Posted May 20, 2013 The VOR needle not functioning as described. Probably a bug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Headspace Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Could you please clarify what you mean by it not functioning as described? What are the steps you took to test it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Wong Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 If I set the VHF Navigation set AN/ARN-82 to a frequency of 109.30 of Mineralnye Vody airbase the first needle or the VOR pointer should response. The second pointer responded if I feed in the correct frequency of the beacon, say 435(inner beacon) on the AN/ARN-83 set. Maybe I am not doing it correctly.

towsim Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 By nature, you will have a reception only if someone talks on that frequency. At this moment, the needle points into the direction of the transmitter. This is in real life not only the airbase. It could be any transmitter who is active on this frequency. I am not sure, if DCS has a build in function which activates the needle, if the AI controller of the airbase talks to you.

David Wong Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 It works well in Black Shark. Use the PVI-800 Navigation Control Panel of BS2 to click on the selected waypoint and u can see the pointer pointing the directions of the waypoint(s) selected.

The second pointer responded if I feed in the correct frequency of the beacon, say 435(inner beacon) on the AN/ARN-83 set. Maybe I am not doing it correctly. Two things. First, the frequency is the ILS for one of the two runway directions. Tuning it in will activate both needles (localizer and glideslope). You will need to be close enough to the runway for it to work, and aligned with either the front or back course of the runway for the localizer info to be valid and to the front course for the glideslope to be valid. Your OBS setting won't matter here like it would if you were tuning a VOR. The ADF needs to be tuned to an NDB. There are some collocated near the airport's runway beacons. But anything you do with those are going to be separate from what you do with your nav radio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Wong Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 What u said it is all correct and reflected on the CDI gauge. But the Radio Compass pointer 1 is not reponding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
