With the Captain Sim 777, I'm finding it no different to other aircraft. That's going on the specific VOR's that I know broadcast up to a certain distance using DME.

Maybe if you gave an example of where you are encountering the problem, I can check it out in my FSX.


Mark,

I checked again, flying from YSSY to NZAA. Before take-off I tuned, using 'manual mode', both VOR SY (112.10) as VOR BIK (116.80). After exactly 111 nm from the nav aid, at FL 300, I lost my first radio nav signal (BIK), and after a while, the second one (SY) at the same distance.

Changed to 'auto mode' and although with several VOR stations within range (<194nm) none of them was able to be auto tuned.

I didn't notice a similar problem when using any other CS addon.

Please, give it a try to check if I'm right or not.

Thanks,

Pinatubo.

Edit: Both VOR stations (BIK and SY) are High Altitude category.
