808: VORs are now RNAV Compatible

| Tom Tsui

Thanks to Bryan in the US, the long-missed vertical guidance on my Multi-Shared VOR1 and VOR2 FIP Gauges under RNAV approach has been implemented finally.


The codes of the two FIP gauges were nearly rewritten. In addition, layouts and appearances of the gauges were revised accordingly to the recent MSFS sim update.

Furthermore, as the NAV/GPS toggling of the VOR2 on the C172 Classic is now independent from the VOR1, an extra NAV-only VOR2 is therefore included.

This is done so because Continue reading →

767: New Multi-Shared VOR2

The VOR2 on the C152 and C172 used to be functioned and looked differently from each other and from the Multi-shared VOR1 as well when MSFS was launched.  However, the two VOR2s got different changes in the last two years and finally become identical to each other and look the same as the VOR1 after the recent 1.23.12.0 update.MSFS_MS_VOR2_R1C_resize

In other words, users can use the new MS VOR2 on both C152 and C172 now, and Continue reading →

685: GPS Navigation Enforced

Without a flight plan, the NAV needle (or CDI) on the VOR(s) will always stay in the center when the GPS Mode is selected:


Otherwise, when a flight plan is active, the needle will Continue reading →

683: JF-PA28 VOR2 Left-deflection Fix

| Tom Tsui

Have you ever noticed when the Just Flight PA28 Arrow III for MSFS is loaded with engine JF-PA28-VOR2-Needlerunning (meaning the aircraft isn’t started from cold and dark), its VOR2 needle is always deflected to the left?

It’s a bug, I believe, since the needle won’t return to center when no NAV signals are present.

To correct this error, we’ll have to flip Continue reading →
