Automatic navaid tuning logic
-
Hello, and thanks for an awesome product!
I've done a few flights now, and I'm a bit puzzled by the automatic navaid tuning. What logic does it use to choose the next navaid to tune, and is there a way to influence this? Om my flights it seems to only automatically tune a navaid on or close to the departure airport and maybe one more along the route before it stops. I can manually find and tune navaids that are in range even though the FMS doesn't.
For example I flew from TNCM to TNCA. The FMS had tuned a navaid on departure (might have been PJM, I can't remember), but never tune the next one even though several were in range (for example ABA at Aruba).
Just curious if this is expected behavior from this FMS, what logic it uses to tune the next navaid, and if there is a way to tell it which navaids to tune automatically.
Thanks again!

The Navaid Remote Tuning will tune into any Navaid that is within range of the aircraft; then the Navaid will remain tuned until it is out of range of the aircraft, at which point the aircraft will start to search for new navaids that are within range.
Having a quick look at this in the sim, the ABA VOR has a range of approx. 190nm, so if the aircraft is out of range of any other navaids, the aircraft should automatically tune into ABA VOR when it is within 190nm. It did automatically tune for me, but I only did a quick local flight rather than the same flight as you mentioned.
I've wanted to do some Caribbean flying in the F70 for a while, so I'll add that flight to my list and keep an eye out for any oddities with the Navaid Remote Tuning!
