August 9, 201114 yr Guys- First of all, this is and will be the all time favourite airplane in FS history, well untill you top it with the 777 of course! :)Anyways, some trouble with the autotuning of VOR1 and VOR2, flying over middle Europe I can see in the FMS that it selects the closest stations, and even tough I have set both knobs to show VOR1 and 2 in ND it stays blanked and in no connection with anything? If i select VOR1 frequency to a closeby VOR I get the DME and radial in the ND - any tips?

August 9, 201114 yr The real thing doesn't have autotuning of VOR frequencies, so I'm not surprised that it doesn't work in the NGX either.Pilots have to manually tune the appropriate frequencies. Dave P. Woycek
August 9, 201114 yr it does not have autotune, i think its in the developer notes in the introduction manual Bryan Richards "People depend so much on automation that they forget how to get the automation to work." B.W.
August 9, 201114 yr Author Okay thanks, tought there had to be something like that THOMAS LORENTZEN | OSLO, NORWAY | i7 [email protected] | ASUS P8Z77 Mobo | 8GB DDR3@1600 | nVidia 580GTX | 1x Intel X25 160GB SSD for FSX | 2x 1TB WD | Samsung 204T 24" LCD HD | Coolermaster V8 CPU Cooler | Win7 64-bit|
August 9, 201114 yr The real thing doesn't have autotuning of VOR frequencies, so I'm not surprised that it doesn't work in the NGX either.Pilots have to manually tune the appropriate frequencies.The manual supplied by PMDG, which is based on Boeing's own, refers to auto tuning of VORs. Other info on the web about the NG also refers to auto tuning of VORs. Pilots have to manually tune ILS frequencies for sure, but the FCOM indicates the FMS can tune VOR frequencies. Look at the sample pictures of the NAV STATUS page in FCOM Vol 2, they show the VOR tuning mode can be M, P or A (A for Auto). Kevin Hall
August 12, 201114 yr I wonder why didn't PMDG model the auto tune possibility. It's pain in my &@($* to tune them manually in long routes... As the real planes has it too. PMDG & MAJESTIC SOFTWARE BETA CPL (A) + ME/IR Aleksi Lindén
