June 15, 20205 yr heloI am new to XPlane, coming from FS9 and FSX.I am learning the use of GPS 430 and 530.When I select a frequency for VOR 1 or 2, I cannot find the distance to these VOR when I fly and navigate. There is no DME in this aircraft ? Can I find this distance in the GPS? Is the DME integrated in the GPS ? How to proceed?thanks for help.Also more generally where can I find good tutorials to navigate in XPlane? The PDF files included for these GPS and FMS are not enough for me, I would need real examples to learn.thanks for help.

June 16, 20205 yr Which aircraft? DME distance is somewhere in the cockpit. Paul Schmidt We're fools to make war on our brothers in arms.
June 16, 20205 yr Author hello it is the default Laminar Cessna SkyHawk. There is no DME equipment in the cockpit. The only way to know the distance to a VOR should ve with the GPS, but I do not know how to do this. thanks FS X SE + XPlane 11.53 Operating System: Windows 10 Professionnel 64-bit Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-10900 CPU @ 2.80GHz (20 CPUs), ~2.8GHz Memory: 32768MB RAM DirectX Version: DirectX 12 Card name: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070 SUPER Display Memory: 24345 MB Dedicated Memory: 8011 MB Current Mode: 1920 x 1200 (32 bit) (59Hz)

On the X-Plane: on the G1000, the DME distances are displayed by selecting (using the softkeys on the part of the PFD): "PFD" / "BRG1" or "BRG2" or "PFD" / "DME" The top part of the PFD and ND in magenta shows you the distance to the next waypoint (which can be a VOR). on the G530, the VOR indications are on the left / lower part of the display (VOR, RAD, DIS) https://images.app.goo.gl/i7UsNVowvKmCYxCC6 Edited June 16, 20205 yr by GearUp180 Highlighting the 530 FAA Aviation Handbooks & Manuals Airbus Documentation: A320 SmartCockpit | Flight Operations Support and Training Standards (WIN)
June 16, 20205 yr Author I was talking about G430 or 530 which is on many aircrafts. The G1000 is on few planes.

June 17, 20205 yr Yes the distance is below the settings for the VOR frequency. Weather this a computed GPS distance or it simulates DME is not clear. I did not have the time to test this, and the manual is not clear about it. https://x-plane.com/manuals/G530_Manual.pdf Paul Schmidt We're fools to make war on our brothers in arms.
June 17, 20205 yr Author Thanks, I think I understand this way 1 select the VOR frequency 2 I go to the navigation page where I should see this information at the bottom left Is this correct?
