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.
