Are you listening to it, as well as looking at the AF? Positive you have the right frequency dialed in?

I can't tell from the original post whether this happens in all aircraft or just a few.

If it's just a few it's likely due to a bad or missing entry in the "Radios" section of individual aircraft.cfg files.

Every aircraft.cfg file should have this line:

Code: Select all
[Radios] ...
Adf.1=1


my complete entry for a two-COM/two-NAV radio aircraft (this should fix your NDB problem) is:

Code: Select all
[Radios]
// Radio Type=availiable, standby frequency, has glide slope
Audio.1=1
Com.1=1, 1
Com.2=1, 1
Nav.1=1, 1, 1
Nav.2=1, 1, 0
Adf.1=1
Transponder.1=1
Marker.1=1


Write back if you are not familiar with editing aircraft.cfg files, because you can easily botch things up if you don't do it carefully.
