I am just learning, via the Training Centre etc. in the game, how to navigate using VOR.

However I am not sure of where you input the frequency of the desired VOR station, whilst sat in the cockpit.

I would be grateful of any help.

Cheers

Hello and welcome to Simming! You should have lots of fun. Put the VOR frequency into the NAV-1 Radio. Then on your NAV gauge make sure the switch is pointed to NAV instead of ADF. When you get within range of the NAV station you programed it will swing the arrow toward it. If you do not see the arrow point that way, you are probably too far away...or you have the ADF switch selected on the NAV guage.

Does this helP ❓

Thanks very much for that it was a big help - I`m used to flying fighters and bombers in IL2 Forgotten Battles (WWII) so something this technical is taking me time to get used to.

Hello there Spartan,
Its a whole new world in FS9, I have been a Sim user since the days of FS4 and I find it a challange. I use to fly a 737 with unlimited fuel untll last year when I decided to bring in fuel usage into my flying situation. I worked out that on average I use up 5.5 ltr of fuel per mile in a 737, so each flight I now do I now calculate 6ltr per mile (the extra just in case) and on a few accasion I did get the low fuel warning as I was on the phone and missed a waypoint, but I did make it to the airport. So you may be new to FS9 and there is anything you need to know about FS9 just post your questions here as there are lots of users here who will take the time to answer them.

Thanks very much for the welcome.

Every day I become more amazed at how big this "world" is, and every day I add another dozen or so questions to the list.

I am slowly working my way through the training lessons, and rest assured there WILL be more questions for the community to help me with, if they would like to.

Cheers
