Adding new VOR frequencies not possible in MSFS2024?

Version: 1.5.27.0

Frequency: Consistently

Severity: High

Isn’t it possible to add new VOR navaids? I have tried to add the following VOR to the island of Pellworm in Germany for testing purposes. The XML code is as follows:

  <Vor
    lon="8.690008"
    lat="54.547355"
    alt="5"
    type="LOW"
    dme="TRUE"
    nav="TRUE"
    frequency="113.15"
    ident="XX1"	
    magvar="2.5"
    name="PELLER"
    range="40"
    region="ED"/>

The VOR is visible both in worldmap (with navaids active) and flight planner and can also be included into flightplans. So far so good…

But I’m unable to receive its signal inside any aircraft (have tried default VOR navaids there and they work fine):

I have tried playing around with all parameters but I can’t seem to find out why it’s not working.

Hello @Sasa

The range appears to be incorrect.
If you want to use nautical miles, you need to add a ‘N’ suffix.
Otherwise it’s in meters :eyes:

This should fix your problem.

Wow, that sounds embarrassing since I tied to replace it with “NM” earlier and that didn’t work. :slight_smile:
By the end however it wasn’t (only) that but something with the overall syntax. When I use the sample from the SDK as a template, it works, and only then it works.

Thank you for pointing that out!
