WebMaximus Posted May 28, 2013 Share Posted May 28, 2013 One thing I've noticed is VORs (and might also be true for NDBs) are not presented by their actual name in the Direct-To dialog but when looking at the map their names are displayed correctly. As an example I'm currently enroute ESSA-EGLL and received a direct-to from Sweden Control to a VOR called ALS where the full name is Alsie. When I tried to find this one by it's full name in the direct-to dialog I couldn't find it but when looking on the map it's marked both by it's ident (ALS) but also by it's name (Alsie) - see the screenshots below. Shouldn't the full name also be displayed in the direct-to dialog in the Name column? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest William Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 I hadn't noticed that. Looking at FSCommander they certainly show both the code and the full name and they are only picking up the information from the BGL files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aivlasoft Posted May 29, 2013 Share Posted May 29, 2013 ooops ... never realized that. You are right, the information is from the BGL and I'm quite sure that EFB reads it. Seems that I have to talk to the programmer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WebMaximus Posted May 29, 2013 Author Share Posted May 29, 2013 Well...not a big issue but sometimes it's very convenient to be able to look up a VOR or NDB by it's name when you're flying online in a heavily busy airspace and the controller gives you a direct-to instruction using the name rather than ident so if you're able to fix this it would be great Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
