    Can we directly tune VOR frequency in an UFC?

    (Not ADF or TACAN)

    You can enter e.g. 1099 for109.9 Mhz) into the TACAN receiver and it'll automatically set the correct channel and mode X or Y for you.

    I know the real U.S. service F-18 ADF doesn’t use NDBs (it gives VOR radials) but it is still just as useful in the sim’ as it is in real life to be able to tune in two independent nav-aids. The Aerofly F-18 was more representative when it had working VOR and NDB reception.

    Can it be fixed in PC and in mobile please?

    Why should the reception not work, that is the first time I'm hearing that. We haven't changed anything on the F18 in that regard for over a year and last tim i checked it worked.

    I didn't invest in the 2nd aircraft package in FS2023 because the F-18 ADF wasn't fixed in FS2022 or in FS4. It will display a nonsense ADF bearing sometimes but it usually refuses to accept a NDB frequency.

    It works perfectly in FS2021 and in FS2.

    Here is a FS4 (Version 4.03.01.16) attempt to tune in the Bournemouth NDB BIA on 339. There is a nonsense NDB indication way to the north.

    Following the NDB leads to the disused Lyneham airbase. The F-18 ADF points to the airfield.

    Trying to tune in the California NDB Petis SB on 397 doesn't work, it shows an unselected NDB bearing to the (non Aerofly) airfield General WM Fox KWJF near Palmdale.

    F-18 ADF pointing at KWJF.

    KWJF has an NDB on 282, Lyneham also had an NDB on 282. Could this be related?

    Good luck with the instructor rating 8)

    Can the Black Hawk display DME with a VOR or an ILS? I have had to enter the corresponding TACAN channel number to bring up DME on the VOR or ILS.
