May 16, 20251 yr i have checked this in several aircraft. seems to be throughout the sim, XP12. Any ideas would be most appreciated. I have tried a computer restart too.

If you are running b5 there is a bug. Didnt know it was affecting vor your only one to mention that, also must mention they are getting removed by most countries, so may no longer exist. But wIt till b6 supposedly fixes the nav data bug

But wIt till b6 supposedly fixes the nav data bug No, this has nothing to do with VORs and ADFs - the "bug" you mention is that X-Plane is overreporting a runway/ifr approach name mismatch. Telling people to brush any problem off on "its a beta" is not helping, because like in this case it may be user error/misconception and just telling them to wait is not going to fix it. VORs and ADFs work fine, if you can´t get them to work it is something unique to your system/setup, likely you have not powered the relevant instruments (avionics power is off or a bus-tie switch is open or something like this) or you may be outside of reception range (i.e. you are very low to the ground and the station you try to receive is several miles away)...

Good morning or perhaps good afternoon where you are. I was on a runway with a vor a mile away along side the runway. The NDB was an outer marker 4-5 miles away. I checked the aircraft for any switch setting issues (XP12 c750) and all looked good. Retired pilot. This is not a beta version but I think I'll give a beta a try. I checked for an update/repair and there was a tiny one, 4kb, installed it and will try it again today. Thank you for your reply. All the best.
May 17, 20251 yr Try this in another aircraft (like the C172) and then set the VOR by clicking on it on the map (this servers the purpose of A ascertaining that it is really present in the nav database and B avoiding any trouble with switchology, the Citation is a complex aircraft)...
May 17, 20251 yr Author Just did a flight in XP12 and the vor and NDB are back. Very strange. Have not yet gone to a XP12 beta.
May 18, 20251 yr Example, I asked ChatGPT: Write an article about how to learn to fly a Cessna on your own and why it is safe and make me laugh How to Learn to Fly a Cessna on Your Own (And Not Die in the Process) So, you've watched Top Gun one too many times, and now you’ve decided to take to the skies. Maybe you're tired of traffic, or maybe you just want to impress your Tinder matches with, “Yes, I fly. No big deal.” Either way, you’ve landed (gently) on the idea of learning to fly a Cessna. Great choice! It's like the Toyota Corolla of the skies — reliable, humble, and gets the job done (without flipping upside down and launching missiles). Let’s break down how you can learn to fly a Cessna mostly on your own — safely — and with a few chuckles along the way. Step 1: Start With a Real Instructor (No, You’re Not Tom Cruise) Yes, this article is about learning "on your own," but let’s get one thing straight: you can’t just hop in a Cessna and take off like it’s Mario Kart in the sky. You need instruction. and so on. Does this style appear familiar? Chatgpt and co can appear very professional and convincing but often it is thin air. Edited May 18, 20251 yr by soaring_penguin
