VOR does not work during Aerocache hunt

Featured Replies

I discovered that VORs don't work when on an Aerocache hunt. I haven't tried to repro the event yet, but I'm wondering if anyone else has seen this.I assume that this was done to avoid having people advise each other of a radial and distance to reach an aerocache, but then I could just use free flight to get to that point, so this may be a bug and not a "feature".

Just loaded up curvature of the earth (only cache I haven't done for obvious reasons) tuned into 114.8 and VOR sprung to life like normal.

I just tried this again and can not repro the event. I tried cycling the avionics during that first session when the problem occured.I tried both Nav radios and tried listening for the morse code, but nothing. Even the freqs were set (multiple VORs were tested) and I rotated the Omnibearing knobs and watched the dials turn, the needles never budged from the center position.Oh well. My first "failed" system in Flight.
