VOR on DC-3

Featured Replies

I've finally figured out how to set the radio frequencies (VOR/ADF, etc), but I have no idea where the actual VOR display is. Anyone out there that can help me out on that?Actually, is there any documentation on how to use the instruments in general on a DC-3?Thanks...

The DC-3 doesn't have a VOR display, it only comes with an RMI (Radio Compass) in the lower left corner of the instrument dash. Which means it can tell you in which direction relative to your heading the tuned VOR station is positioned, but you cannot fly a VOR course. In other words you can tune VOR stations, but you can only use them pretty much the same way you would use an NDB.The RMI also needs to be set to your current heading manually before it can tell you anything worthwhile - it doesn't come with a compass dial. There's documentation in FSX on how to use these, in the section about VOR if I'm not mistaken. Or look up RMI in the index.Regards,http://www.bremmekamp.com/img/misc/avsim.jpg

Ya, I figured a DC-3 wouldn't have full VOR...Cool, thanks.
