GDM VOR not working?

Featured Replies

I just noticed that the Gardner, MA VOR (GDM 110.6) is not working in my sim.

Can someone check to see if they can tune it and get a signal?

Thanks,

Rich

I've noticed some of the VORs in MSFS require you to be at a higher altitude that you'd expect in real life. There are a few in the UK, that you cannot tune in unless you're above 6000'.   (IRL I've successfully tuned them at 2,500').

Maybe try it at 8,000' or above?

I'm not at my rig right now, so hopefully someone can test it for you.
