No601_Swallow Posted April 2, 2016 Posted April 2, 2016 I've put an NDB on an airfield on the Moscow map, so I can try out navigation in the Ju88. I can't for the life of me get it to work. I've tried everything I can think of, including slavishly copying its settings from a Stalingrad mission where it does work. Swapping out the Ju88 for a 111 also doesn't make a difference. Anyway, has anybody else had problems with the NDBs on the Moscow map?
LLv34_Temuri Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 I've had problems with NDB, but not in the Moscow map. It seems they stopped working after some patch, can't remember which one. I haven't reported it as a bug, since I'm not sure if I've made some mistake myself in using them. One thing comes to mind: make sure you set the countries of the NDB and your plane as the same.
No601_Swallow Posted April 5, 2016 Author Posted April 5, 2016 Actually, I think it was working - I think it was a range thing. When I got closer (to within 40km or so) and higher, the AFN-2 and the big radio Peilungsindikator (or whatever it's called) both picked up the signal fine. In fact, the swinging needle on the Peilungsindikator as it homes in on the direction is pretty cool. I wonder what the maximum range for the NDB is? Maybe I couldn't pick it up because I was too low? Anyway, thanks for the suggestion, Temuri!
MF-Belgarufo Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) I just used one on the Moscow map with a radius of 24km It works fine so I added another of that size. (parameter is actually 24000m in the advanced properties), everything is still smooth. Didn't check it with the finder gauges (i,e, rpk) yet as I am still working on the mission, not a lot of testing time in mission yet. NDB's spotter radio channel works, and radar on map works for them. They also work if you name them NOICON Edited April 5, 2016 by MF-Belgarufo
Sokol1 Posted April 5, 2016 Posted April 5, 2016 In BoS the range is more than MP users eventually use, ~200 KM.

Non Directional Beacon?
