Cannot for the life of me get the ADF to function on the Caravan Pro
I have tried to get the ADF system to work on the Caravan Pro and fail to see how it will get the needle to work. Any suggestions ? I'm attempting an NDB approach and the ADF need it to work.
Thanks in advance i'm sure its something simple. AI is being useless and says MSFS doesn't support NDB but that's totally wrong.

Hmm it was really odd though many other planes worked. The NDB was 342.5 at EGSH and I was parked right next and just doing circuits. Do you think it’s the .5 issue again - I thought this was fixed I will try again today but just think it’s still not implemented properly in older systems.
If anyone else experienced this in the UK would like to know.

We have .5 here in he UK so I’m guessing that might be the issue - I just heard back from my flying club Good question Steve.
“NDBs in Europe have always used 0.5kHz frequencies where in the US they have only ever used whole integer frequencies. However to answer your question, due to the broad band spectrum of the kHz frequency band 0.5khz won’t have much effect on the ADF reception, so feel free to use (for Norwich 342.5kHz) either 342 or 343…. We ding 342 works well.”

@sputman101 Unless you're referring to an issue with the frequency spacing in the simulator that I'm unaware of, this might be of interest to you from the manual:
A secondary click on the power knob will increment the standby frequency by 0.5 kHz, indicated with a dot to the left of the frequency.

Ohh ok - will try today - thanks
