As I did in the conversion from FGSteam to the separate
instrumentation modules, I'll start by copying the original code as
much as possible.

I've had a bit of experience now with ADFs and VORs in marginal
reception conditions.  When I was too low too far out, the VOR needle
swung back and forth like a pendulum, unable to lock on a single
radial.  When I was over hilly terrain, the ADF locked at about a
30-degree offset until I was clear.

The biggest problem right now, though, is that the needles are too
snappy -- both the VOR and ADF should lag by up to a second or two
rather than snapping right in.  The lag is what makes it tricky to
find the current VOR radial or intercept an NDB hold inbound.


All the best,


David
