Hello there my fellow aviators. I think that FSX navaids have too much range, according to what I've read in wikipedia... it states that the range is limited to the horizon but also gives some ranges passing 100nm as well... dont understand.
I also now about skywave propagation of NDBs, so I'm not SO noob :D
Here are the FSX values (used ADEx to check,, from varius airports around the world):
DME High Altitude: 195.05NM
DME low altitude: 60.02NM
VOR/DME Low Altitude: 60.02NM
VOR/DME High Altitude:195.05NM
VOR High Altitude: 195.05 NM
VOR Low Altitude: 60.02NM
NDB HH: 112.53NM and one managed to throw 75.02NM
NDB H: 75.05NM
NDB MH: 37.51NM
NDB Compass Locator: 22.51NM
I mostly fly GA aviation in alaska and below 7500ft (Unpressurized aircrafts btw). I simulate air taxi and bush flying, my goal is to make it as realistic as possible, I don't even use GPS! (yes, I'm a vintage virtual flyer :D:D:D)
Any imput from a Real world Pilot is appreciated, as i'm just a virtual one.
Cheers and Happy Flying!! ltnicolas (Nicolas)
