Ok, here is a comparison using the classic navradio code before and after adding radio propagation calculations: Before: http://wiki.flightgear.org/images/e/e0/Vor_no_itm.png After: http://wiki.flightgear.org/images/c/c6/Vor_itm.png Test performed using C172p trying to receive DVA VOR/DME. The distance is approx 80 km with no line of sight (hills, small mountains, valleys). In both cases the aircraft is on ground, tuned to the frequency of the VOR/DME station. In the first case we have reception and needle deflection, in the second case, as we can clearly see to the right, the radio link budget is simply insufficient to clear the obstacles, despite the high power of the station. No reception, no needle deflection.
