Not receiving VOR Stations

Featured Replies

Just recently my aircraft are not receiving VOR stations.  It is the case with the default aircraft as well as addons.  I have the latest Airac and also I have updated the world navaids.  Has something become corrupted in FSX and if so can I replace the offending files with back ups that I have.

You are tuning the NAV2 to the correct VOR freq and enabled receive for that radio?  No adf needle movement?

Using the default C712, does the radio section of the aircraft.cfg look OK?

[Radios]
// Radio Type = availiable, standby frequency, has glide slope
Audio.1       = 1
Com.1         = 1, 1
Com.2         = 1, 1
Nav.1         = 1, 1, 1
Nav.2         = 1, 1, 0
Adf.1         = 1
Transponder.1 = 1
Marker.1      = 1

Just going to run a Chromebook and not upgrade to a Windows computer. Too many problems with the new Sims! 😱
Trying to keep peace and harmony and the will of Landru on the site seems to be a full time job!

Hello Charlie

I am tuning the radios as I always have without problem until recently.  No life in the VOR indicators or the ADF and of course there is no morse signal.  I noticed it first with the PMDG NGX  with no VOR audio morse identifier.  Been trying various things using the default C172.  I had a back up of the FSX Scenery folder which i tried but still the same.  I am not sure where FSX stores the nav frequencies, I am guessing it's in the scenery folder.  Yes, the C172 config file you mention is as you state.  At  the moment Baffled!

Thanks for your interest.  I have solved my problem.  I use the "Scenery Config Editor" and on checking it I discovered that in the "BASE" section all the areas had somehow become unchecked.  I have no idea how this happened,  I certainly did not do it.  I am thinking that it was caused by ORBX updating as I have read that other people have had problems caused by this.

Anyway My VOR,s are back in action.
