[SOLVED] BUG: Just Flight PA-28R Turbo Arrow III (MSFS) AP unable to capture VOR
-
As per object and video.
MSFS and Just Flight PA-28R Turbo Arrow III/IV (MSFS) are up to date.
I have to redirect the aircraft with the HDG heading and switch to follow the course offered by VOR signalThis is my Community folder.

[SOLVING]
The manual isn't properly clear (or was my fault), but even in NAV or OMNI coupler mode the HDG switch must be turned on.
-
Not sure if this is solved per-se, been flying around today with some other players practising VOR navigation and I was having problems intercepting the signals in the PA-28, unlike my fellow pilots who seemed to be having no probs.
-
What is the range for picking up VOR signals.
Tried today and getting red flag on HSI.
-
@gabe777 Standard VORs are generally around 100-130 miles, less if there is terrain in the way.
-
@grol There are several types of "standard" VOR stations, with very different ranges from 25 miles up to 130 miles. Here is a very good VOR training article to read... https://www.aopa.org/news-and-media/all-news/2000/december/flight-training-magazine/the-abcs-of-vors

@retiredman93231 I am aware of this, my answer was pitched at what seemed like the level of the question.

I'm using the GTN 750 free version and assume if WAL VOR is a waypoint, I just click on VLOC.... the GPS/NAV switch is automatically enabled to NAV.... but the HSI just shows a red flag even right over the VOR !
Don't know what I'm doing wrong.
Will try later with just the default radio stack... it may be a 750 issue.
Cheers.

I think I already know what I'm doing wrong !
I'm so used to the 747 auto tuning nav frequencies at least on approach, I don't think the 750 does auto tune the nav radios.
Doh !
Think I'll try manually tuning the NAV radio !
