I fly this route almost everyday and I'm also facing this issue with some navaids. Also when flying from SBGL to SBGR some NDB's ranges are low and we fly blind without another navaid.
Could you explain to me, and other person who is looking for the answer, how to change the range of some NDBs or other Navaids?
I also need to change BFR (CABO FRIO) and TBE (TAUBATÉ).
Thanks you!
Dear all,
I was able to change the range of the NDBs I mentioned above.
I downloaded the program BGL Navaids Direct Editor v3.00 at http://aero.sors.fr/ --> Navdata --> Navaids tolls
The folder with the BGL files is located at, in my case, "\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Scenery\"
For the Navaids I quoted before, the file is located at "\Lockheed Martin\Prepar3D v4\Scenery\0405\scenery"
The specific file is NVX04050.BGL. Inside of it there are some navaids. All the navaids all over the world can be found at the folder above.
Well, I changed the range of the one I needed to 150nm and they plane can identify correctly.
To use the program is very easy. No explanation is needed.

Thanks!

VOR and NDB ranges

You're welcome! I thought about other people who had the same problem and were lost in the air. During night and raining you can't see anything 😉
Thank you very much for your information @hervesors it's great to have real information to simulate as real as it's possible.
ADA is correct with P3D, 80 NM
SAT is correct with P3D, 128 NM
BFR according to P3D is 50 NM
TBE is correct with P3D, 25 NM
Therefore, when I was flying the NDB range was not enough to cover the route. Since RNAV is replacing the navaids neither VOR nor NDB are needed anymore. Some exists as backup. The old routes were covered by VORs, which the range is better.
If it is of your interest I can share the route which uses NDBs as navaids.
Best regards!
