I am thinking of adding a post recreating/describing an airline flight in the JU52 circa 1935 complete with old European NDB airways. If I get the time I will do it.
It screams out for audio identification, it is not practical to not KNOW what NDB you are tracking. The attitude to this in IPACS is peculiar. The Ju 52/3m panel resolution in mobile does not help.
Have you seen the Boeing 247 add on for MSFS? There are RADIO RANGE 1930-1950s nav-aid usage videos in YouTube, it really looks interesting.
No I haven't seen. Yes it is very hard to use. But for navigation I am finding it essential. Even without wind I am finding dead-reckoning even harder to do or at least as hard. Have been lost too many times. I try to find NDBs that are at the extreme end of the dial like 400-410 for example so they are like contact 1 or 2 going counter clockwise on the 200-410 range. But it is still very hard to use. I prefer not to use Flight Information at the top of screen, I like the challenge/realism, but it certainly solves the problem - have been tempted many times!
