May 20, 201214 yr Works fine... Just tested that indeed flying to low and distant from a sation you will loose it, and I was able to catch one at 182NM when I climbed above 7000'...

May 20, 201214 yr Sure does. And not only distance is a factor but also mountains around you: they can block the signal.

Jeroen, I didn't even try to test such a degree of detail, but if confirmed I must say this is a first time EVER in any simulator I know of, including a few LevelD (I work next to one at Lisbon airport .... and was luck enough to fly Buses on it ...) I'm speachless!!!

I'm speachless!!! I can confirm that both altitude and terrain block the signal. There's no place like this place, so this must be the place.

I'm speachless!!! Terrain definitely creates radio propagation shadows in Flight. I've noted it low off Oahu's North Shore, where you lose the Honolulu and Koko Head VORs due to island's high central plateau, as well as south-west of Lanai, where you can watch the ILS reception come and go as you dip below the cliff edge and then climb back above it.
May 20, 201214 yr Author Well, if I wasn't already, I totally/unconditionally surrender to FLIGHT... Let the ADF arrive and see if their is the well known sea/land NDB interfernce as well as interference from thunderstorms :-) Ah! That TACAN thing was me extrapollating ... sorry Flying gliders since 1980 Flightsimming since 1992 AMD Ryzen 5600x, 32GB RAM, GPU Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB, 1 TB and 500 GB nvme2 SSD drives, HP 27" 60Hz LED monitor @ 1920x1080, T16000, Hotas from old X52 Pro, Saitek Combat Rudder Pro (2010 model)
May 20, 201214 yr I have not tried to verify documented real-world null-zones in Flight, so I can't say if the terrain effects correspond to real ones. The ones I've seen seem logical, though.
