Anything I ever saw in 707's thru to 767's looked pretty rock solid to me. But I may be wrong.
It may have been driven by an FMS in that case, which would be taking input from INS, LORAN, DME, GPS, etc. What's your experience in those planes?
21 years in which I held full licence privileges (eqivalent to FAA A&P)for Airframe and power plant
on 707,747,767 & DC10 as well as holding limited licence privileges in electrical,instrument & radio.
There is no way to get directional information to a VOR; instruments like an RMI have to fake it by comparing the current radial (which can already be very different from the magnetic [or in the north, true] bearing from the station).
Without looking up my notes I would guess that the information would be processed by the Nav receiver and feed to the VOR needles.
All the best,
David
