Hi,
For a mission in the middle of the Pacific, I need a longer range for NBDs. The FS20 seems to be somehow limited in this respect. I can enter whatever I want for range. I only receive the NBD at an altitude of 10,000 ft at a distance of 130 nautical miles.
Example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<FSData version="9.0" timestamp="08/01/2026 3:00:00 PM">
<Ndb lat="37.91869" lon="-79.10012" alt="2313.0F" type="H" frequency="1100.000" range="555600.0M" magvar="9.3" region="K6" ident="SMV" name="Southwest Mountains Virginia">
<VisualModel imageComplexity="NORMAL" name="{2fb72c66-290c-4727-b970-da20984cee83}"/>
</Ndb>
</FSData>
The NBD is high on a mountain and is supposed to have a range of 300 nautical miles, but is only received at a distance of around 130 nautical miles. I can increase the range, but the result remains the same. Could it be that the 130 nautical miles is the maximum range of NBDs in the simulator?
I would be grateful for any advice.
Greetings, Koschi
