Hey,This has happened to me a couple of times now.Approaching an airport (most recently Eelde in Holland) tracking a VOR radial (or ILS track) and the VOR suddenly loses its lock and I get the red NAV flag in the VOR dial. I can't seem to find any way to get the lock back (retuning NAV1 or reloading flight) and this makes landing impossible when you're under IFR. I have to reset the weather to hi vis and do a VFR landing.Am I missing something obvious or is it just a FSX glitch?

Are you on the radial that is set when you get the red flag? How close to the station?

And you're not somehow "bumping" the NAV/GPS mode switch back to GPS?

Last time it happened, I was on base leg just getting ready to turn onto final at about 10miles out. Just got the red flag and couldn't retune...And I checked that I hadn't bumped onto GPS by mistake...

I really don't have a clue after trying the ILS and VOR at Eelde. Everything worked fine while flying the Baron. Of course it may be aircraft specific. One thing I found out in this exercise was that there was no functioning OBS knob for VOR 2 in the Baron VC. I have had problems getting an in-range VOR or ILS tuned-in but never a problem losing the VOR after it was tuned-in and within range. I thought the flag might show when the aircraft position was too far off the radial selected, but that didn't happen.You at least deserve credit for using the VOR when the GPS is so easy.

ILS VOR's have a narrow radio beam so you will see them drop out if you have flown past the radio cone.vololiberista

Yeah but if it's a VOR it shouldn't lose signal 10 dme from the station... An ILS yeah depending on where you are.
