I'm quite sure (alas unable to provide reference) that at any given time only the one servicing the active runway really transmits. If so that isn't modeled in fg. A quick search for "EGLL loc 'same frequency'" found some workaround being discussed on the fg mailing list. > My question for you avionics gurus is: How do real nav radios deal with > directional radio beams as the aircraft approaches (and more > importantly) passes the closest locator at such airports? Yeah some real world input would be nice. Also I'm under the impression that it's concentrated in UK airports. Any pointers regarding the why's? Regards K.
