Post by PeSt »

Hello all,

One stupid question: where is the adf/vor switches?
I have read here that the switch is on the center pedestrial, but i have looked at the manuel, in the vc, with gooogle - i havent found it.
So please can you tell ( or show) me where the switch is and how is is it named.
Thanks all for help me and sorry for my bad english.


Greetings Pete

Hi,

I'm not 100% sure but I think the radio panels are above your head in the centre? Might be worth a look?

Hope this helps but can't promise anything!

Well the B-17 doesn't really have a VOR. It has a RMI gauge that can be linked to a VOR frequency through the shift+6 (at least that's what I believe it is) 2D radio stack. Set the VOR frequency you want in the NAV1 or 2 window on the pop up radio panel. Then click on NAV1 or NAV2 which will get a frame around it. If it has a frame around it it is active and this station will be displayed on the RMI. Remember though it's not a VOR it works like a ADF with a VOR frequency!

Hope this helps

Piper, my error in the 2d panel was, that i ve not marked the frequenses with the frame
