Direction to VOR indicator - G3

Post by MikeBlackburn »

Hi

Is it possible to turn off the green line with the "A" on the end which indicates the direction to a VOR station? It makes it quite hard to track a radial as it tends to cover the needle at minor deflections.

No
Use the radial numeric readout.
The VOR paddles are a non standard but quite convenient way to indicate direction to station.

Thanks.
Could it be logged as a feature request for later iterations?

The radial readout it useful to choose the radial you want to track but you still need the needle for lateral guidance on the selected radial.

Besides if you adjust the CRS to centre the needle you can see which direction the station lies in...
