Nav 1 radio in the Fw190

[william thompson]

When I enter the desired frequency into the Nav 1 in the radio popup window, no indicator of any kind shows in the instrument panel to show the direction of the beacon I have selected. I would be grateful for advice, Cheers, WT

Hi William,

You should gather the direction from the inflight map and dial in the OBS on the compass accordingly.
Might be necessary to gain some altitude before you can receive the beacon station hence why you may or may not see some immediate action on the VOR needle.
Hope that answers your question.

Greetings Mathias, and thank you for your reply. I still cannot make the direction finder point to the desired beacon. I have bought 'FS Panel Studio', and I will try to get an ADF on to the instrument panel. But I will be starting from scratch with this kind of task, so I'm not holding my breath!
Best Wishes, William

Ah ok, there's no AFD in this aircraft, only old school VOR.
