July 13, 200322 yr I just noticed that on the PFD the localizer deviation scale is visible when there is a VOR tuned in NAV1. Also, above the ADI the VOR is identified and where usually the ILS course is given, there is now a bearing from the VOR. I think at that shouldn't be there for a humble VOR signal :-)Also, when tuned to an ILS, with the deviation slightly more than one half dot, shouldn't the scale expand? I believe you can tell when that happens, because then the circles become squares.Leo BakkerP.S. In case you're getting sick and tired of my comment I just want to repeat I really like the sim, otherwise I would never go to this trouble. I like to think that I might be contributing in some small way to making this thing "as real as it gets". I just hope you guys can see it that way too :-)
July 13, 200322 yr Humm that ILS deviation indicator is a very good question Leo. I don't know on the PFD but I am pretty sure that on the ND, the indicator should be WHITE intil less than 2 1/2 dots from from center when it will fill with magenta. As for expanding, I will look it up.[h5]Best Wishes,Randy J. Smith[/h5][h6]The Next Great one?

July 13, 200322 yr From my read of the Continental 737 flight manual, they always refer to the "localizer deviation scale" on the PFD, and never mention its use for VORs.Lee Hetherington (KBED)
