Just the French being different I suppose Shouldn't they be easier to see on a larger one? On my 19' CRT running at 1280*960 the symbols are quite easy to identify.Īs far as non-DME ILSs are concerned the place for those is France! They just don't seem to bother. I'm a bit perplexed by your comment about sizing on a 21' monitor. My comments are based on v4 which may be different to v3 as far as symbols are concerned. It just occurred to me that we could be talking about different versions of FSNav. Again, the 'Chan' in the Navigation box listed in the chart or plate will be the give-away to whether the DME is present. Or do you treat the ILS asĪctually, it's the LOC (localizer component of the ILS) that might have a DME attached to it. You might drop this question to Mark in the Airlines and Airliners Forum. But most runways that have CATII and III approaches are at bigger airports, which typically have DME. > What about CAT II, CAT III approaches? Do they require thatĪs far as I know, no.

DME and VORTAC's provide distance measuring information via a separate frequency (actually a channel) which in modern NAV systems is tuned in automatically when you dial in the VOR/DME or VORTAC. DME is not a standard component of an ILS system. To help clarify, an ILS is two three component system: localizer, glideslope, and marker beacons. > I remember as well that in FS2002 I often feel there are ILS I remember as well that in FS2002 I often feel there are ILS Moment) while in FS2002 there is only a DME. My FS98 scenery (maybe Europe 3 add-on, I'm not sure at the Interestingly the WTN you mentioned is listed as VORTAC in VORs to have some different symbols, with VOR/DME having the They do not resize when zooming in, so its a bit hard to see

I had a close look and the symbols differ - a bit. DMEs are shown by a blue circle without the marks.

> VOR/DMEs are shown in blue with small marks around the Pausing the mouse over an object will also confirm its type. MCT is a VOR/DME but Warton (WTN) to the NW is a DME. VOR/DMEs are shown in blue with small marks around the circle. Perhaps this was the cause of the discrepancy?īen is correct in saying the symbol will differ. I seem to recall that there was some sort of third party database import that was required for FSNAV at one point. > It seems to me that some VORs in FS98 that had DME now don't have it There are legends for these symbols included in the DVD you have. I don't have FSNAV, but if the symbology they use there is the same as in the real world, you can tell the difference between VOR's, VOR/DME's and VORTAC's by the symbols used to represent them. > without DME and a VOR with DME in FS-Navigator? > a simple FS-Navigator question: How can I distinguish between a VOR

It seems to me that some VORs in FS98 that had DME now don't have it anymore in FS2002. VOR-DME' - FlightAdventures Virtual Pilot Center(tm)Ī simple FS-Navigator question: How can I distinguish between a VOR without DME and a VOR with DME in FS-Navigator?
