http://scenemodels.flightgear.org/modeledit.php?id=39 vordme_1 http://scenemodels.flightgear.org/modeledit.php?id=615 vordme_2 vordme_1 is the default VOR/DME model for FlightGear. I don't know it's history. I modeled vordme_2. It is modeled after VOR/DME OSH. Located at KOSH airport. I used photographs to estimate it's dimensions. vordme_2 is positioned at VOR/DME OSH and VOR/DME SFO. SFO is the one at KSFO airport. It is not the correct model for SFO. If someone can provide pictures and dimensions for SFO I will model it for FlightGear.
