Identification of VORs and ADFs on the ND

Featured Replies

Hello

When flying, VORs and ADFs identification on the ND are listed in green or blue characters just under the distance, but named DME1, DME2, ADF1 or ADF2 (without any distance !) only. I would prefer to get their ICAO code right away instead, which would help to quickly know where I'm along the flight progress. I've seen it on a real AIRBUS. I did not chanced yet to check in a BOEING. So, is it possible to get it on the B 737 PMDG for FS 9?

Yes.  It should be listed the next line down.  Up above the ND, there are switches to have the ND display VOR 1 or ADF 1, and VOR 2 or ADF 2.  If you flip the switch to the appropriate setting, it will display the information at the bottom left, along with the code.

 

Example:

I have a VOR tuned in NAV 1, so I flip the switch to VOR 1.

On the ND, the VOR info will be displayed at the bottom left - freq, VOR 1 and the ID.

I appreciate your answer, but there is a misunderstanding.

I know how to use the VOR-ADF switches, but what i would care is to have the ICAO code written under the DME distance, instead of "DME1 or DME2".

Here are 2 screens for a better understanding.

 

ADF and VOR-DME

You're using the old panel option.  Use the new panel option that looks like this and you'll see it (must be something that Boeing didn't offer in your version - change options in the PMDG Options menu):
