August 5, 2025Aug 5 W10, P3D5.3, LNM_2507: Good morning Alex. I have been flying in and out of Spain a number of times recently using VOR to VOR in my flight plan. I note that changing frequency to tune BLV (Bilbao) on 117.65 it does not indicate as DME (distance) although it shows as a waypoint. Any ideas why? Not hugely important - just curious! Ken.

August 6, 2025Aug 6 Hi Ken, there is no waypoint BLV. This is a VORDME and in the latest Navigraph cycle it has a frequency of 117.65 MHz. In the most likely outdated P3D data it is shifted to the West and has a frequency of 115.90 MHz. Normally it should give a DME indication in both cases. Alex Alex' Projects: Little Navmap
August 7, 2025Aug 7 Author Thanks, Alex... on my next visit to Spain I will try the alternate 115.90 you mention and see what happens. I have a subscription to Navigraph so always have the bang-up-to-date data there but the P3D data could well be the 'culprit'. As previously stated "not hugely important" - curiosity satisfied 😎.

You probably already know but just to be sure: Update the LNM database too with the latest cycle. Check the LNM window title if it shows the latest cycle. Set "Select automatically" in LNM menu "Scenery Library" -> "Navigraph". Then you should see the correct frequency in LNM. Alex Alex' Projects: Little Navmap
