Hi Claudio,

Certainly! I understand your concern about the low sound level of navigation aids when intercepted. Let me walk you through some steps that might help you increase the volume.

1. In-Game Audio Settings:

  • Navigate to the 'Options' tab.
  • Click on 'General'.
  • Select 'Sound' from the left pane.
  • Here, you'll find various audio sliders. One of these is typically related to Radio or ATC which can influence the sound levels of your navigational aids (VOR/NDR/ILS).
  • Increase this slider to a level you find comfortable.

2. Check your Aircraft's Radio Panel:

  • In some aircraft, the audio panel (usually above or near the radio stack) may have knobs or buttons that control the volume for individual systems.
  • Make sure that the volume for NAV or COMM is turned up. This directly affects the sound levels of VOR/NDR/ILS identifiers.

3. External Software or Hardware:

  • If you're using any third-party plugins or hardware, ensure their audio settings are not lowering the volume.
  • Some flight yokes or hardware panels come with volume knobs. It might be worth checking if you have one and its settings.

4. System Volume:

  • Ensure your system's volume mixer doesn't have Microsoft Flight Simulator set at a lower volume level.
  • Right-click the volume icon on your taskbar, select 'Open Volume Mixer', and verify the volume level for the simulator.

5. Update or Modify:

  • Always make sure your simulator is up to date. Sometimes, audio issues can be addressed in patches.
  • If you're using any sound enhancement mods, consider removing them temporarily to see if they're causing the issue.

If after trying the above steps you're still facing issues, it might help to have more specifics. Are you experiencing this on all aircraft or just specific ones? Are there any third-party plugins involved? The more details you provide, the better I can assist.

Looking forward to hearing back from you. I hope this helps!
