VOR working on ground but not in flight with UH1

[jakare]

In Beacons.lua file, I found 5 VOR stations

 

 

Gelendzhik 114.30 GNV

Krasnodar 115.80 KRD

Kopitnari 113.60 KTS

Mineralnye 117.10 MNV

Lochini 113.70 TBS

 

I tried to use Lochini and Krasnodar VOR beacons

 

At the parking, I set my radio nav to the right frequency

1 - The ID code is playing

2 - twin needle HSI is movingl to the station

3 - Both CDI needles are decentered (meaning the CDI is operational)

 

While I am at the parking no problem (needles and sound works), but as soon as I took off I lose the connection very quickly?.

Itr is not a hiding problem, because i am still above the airport.

 

Does anyone has an explanation?

 

I am not sure if the problem come from DCS World or from the HUEY.

Do they model the cone of silence over a VOR? Try moving away from it a bit?

 

EDIT: Those are marker beacons...very short range not a VOR

 

Real world NDB for Lochini is 923 KHz try that and see if it works.

The cone of Silence would be too wild. I tested 4 VORs. Look like signal start of see level to grow up at a very soft slope. One of them (I thing was MNV, not sure), when inbound, even you are at few meters of ground, I lost the signal about 15mn from the station. I posted the issue to DCSW B&P, no answer yet.

I just came across this problem with Kutaisi. It seems the closer I get, the lower I have to fly to intercept the signal. At one point, I had to be less than 10 ft off the ground.
