I made a NEW VOR TUTORIAL and I use Navigraph to show aircraft position the entire video. You can see that video here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZWWDvKNtnMzRfLg.html

omg thank you so much, you made this seem so easy .other videos just say a bunch of words which complicates it even more, but this video was so simple.

Another excellent video ! I'm happy that you're putting those red boxes to catch our attention, without them you might get lost and miss important information

My thoughts exactly. When I started making videos I thought to myself, "If there were just some boxes to place around what I'm talking about." And then the draw tool was discovered!

Great tutorial - now I just have to do it x number of times before it sinks in - I'm a slow but happy learner :)

Thank you. Once you get it, it is very easy. I've tracked VORs thousands of times so it's second nature but I didn't get it at first either. Feel free to ask questions if you need to.

There's also the military TACAN which has a slant range of 200 nm's. TACAN stations are often combined with VOR/DME stations.

You are right but I am not sure they are even programmed in FS2020. When I was using the Crazy Woman VOR I tested the range and it went to 199 NM at 14,000 feet and it's only a High Altitude VOR. In real life I've received DMEs 200 NMs away but not the VOR signal itself.

Thanks for the video. I am used to steam gauges, I just had to figure out the digital avionics

One quick off topic ?? sort of. On the King Air 350i, I cannot find how to set the DME or tune for ADF? Its the touch screen Garm. Thanks if you can take a look at. Kudos.

I cannot find where to enter an NDB frequency. However, to get DME, click on the HSI or near it and a page will come up. On that page you can select BRG Pointer. It has ADF as a choice but nowhere to put in an NDB frequency. You can select NAV 1 or NAV 2 on the bearing pointer and it will show DME if a VOR is tuned and being received. I did notice there is a volume knob on the audio panel that says ADF for tuning the NDB. I think it is a glitch that it can't be tuned, or buried deep in the game. I tried for 30 minutes to find it.

How do you triangulate between two VORs or use them to plot a course when you are not flyin directly to or from the VOR?

@thecorporatepilotdad

There will be a video in the coming days on VOR triangulation.

@thecorporatepilotdad

2 жыл бұрын

The video on VOR triangulation has been uploaded. A course can be flown to or from the station while using another VOR to pinpoint the location on the course being flown. RNAV used to be used to input a radial and distance to make waypoints to fly a straight line between multiple VORs vs flying to each one.

Show u us how to use 2 VOR’s when there is only one one the display. Much harder than two VOR steamer gauges.

Fly from one VOR until you get halfway between VOR stations or reach the change over point on the chart then switch to the VOR ahead of the airplane. I did a new VOR video with Navigraph and it shows flying between 2 VORs with one VOR display. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZWWDvKNtnMzRfLg.html

My question is, when ever I hover over a botton or knob it's blue and I cannot make it work, any ideas? Please. I'm trying to practice VOR flying but cannot tune in radios.

is there a decent VFR map app that best accompanies FSFS2020?

@thecorporatepilotdad

There are various free sectionals online but only for the United States and parts of Canada. There is the VFR map in the in game menu, and navigraph is an option but it has a small monthly fee.

I am starting to think I'm just a dumb person. This seems complicated to me. Oh well, I guess I keep flying looking at lakes, mountains and shores.

VOR teaching does seem hard at first but it isn’t once it clicks. Here is another VOR video I did with a moving map from Navigraph that shows aircraft position that might be easier. kzread.info/dash/bejne/ZWWDvKNtnMzRfLg.html

I feel like an idiot if this was supposed to be simple. As a newbie I got lost after the first two minutes! Like, where do you get these VORs and the maps you were using?

@thecorporatepilotdad

3 жыл бұрын

I use Navigraph now, but when I made the video, I used SkyVector. Tune the frequency and then turn the course knob on the HSI or OBS knob on a VOR until it centers. I am going to make another VOR video soon. I have had people say they got lost trying them to use VORs. Once you get the hang of them they are very easy to use.

Is that an ILS landing?

@thecorporatepilotdad

3 жыл бұрын

No, this video is a tutorial on how to use a VOR. There is no such thing as an ILS landing. It's called an ILS approach. This works similar to a localizer which is the left right guidance part of an ILS approach. A localizer sits on the far end of the approach runway and transmits at a smaller angle but is very precise. A VOR transmits in 360 degrees.

@@Sanctimonious007 pretty much all landings are done manually. Some airliners and specially trained crews can do auto land with ILS approaches. If you go to my channel page then click Videos, you’ll see all of them. There is a VOR approach on that page. Actually two VOR approaches. One is in the TBM and the other in the Baron. When getting to an airport, either an instrument approach will be done or a visual approach. Non instrument rated pilots will enter the traffic pattern and land visually.

Music in a tutorial is distracting.
