Visible VORs?

Postby Chris_F » Fri Dec 23, 2005 11:29 am

Forgive me for not using the search, I'm lazy.

I'd like to add visible VORs to FS9.  Some airports have really nice 3D VOR beacons as part of the objects at that airport.  I'd like to add 3D VOR beacons to those points on the map where a VOR is located.  That way I could visibly see my position relative to the VOR (given the right weather conditions).

Does anyone know of an add on which supports this (prefer freeware)?  It seems like it would be a simple add on to make as the co-ordinates for the VORs should already be stored somewhere, all you'd have to do is create a new scenery object and place them at those VOR locations.

Amongst the large library of objects are a number of Radio beacons, including VOR stations...

Plonk one over an existing Station and Viola, it can be spotted from the air...!!

I just flew over three VORs out in the middle of no-where and the towers were there..

Maybe you need to have the scenery settings high enough ?
