Analog caravan losing VOR signal
-
I have noticed that the aircraft loses VOR signal at 40nm when using nav1 and HSI no matter how high I'm flying. Switching to Garmin GPS the VOR is back alive, though. It appears to be a analog navigation issue only. Any ideas to work around?

The MSFS navigational aid database includes flags for high, low, and terminal VOR service volumes, which are approximately 120nm, 40nm, and 25nm radii, respectively. Unfortunately, this aspect of the database is not meticulously maintained, meaning that some VOR stations will default to the 40nm radius. If you have reason to believe that this is an issue with the Analog Caravan specifically, and not any other aircraft, I am always happy to take a look.

@voice-of-reason thanks for the response. The VOR tested is a 130nm range. Other aircrafts picks up it's signal. The caravan itself does it when GPS navigation mode is selected. When I switch to analog VOR the HSI needles stop working and a red flag "nav" is displayed.
