PMDG DC-6 Basic Nav Tutorial | Flying VORs, NDBs and ILS in MSFS!

Today, we highlight some important basic Navigational features you'll want to use in the ‪@pmdgsimulationsofficial51‬ Douglas DC-6 for ‪@MicrosoftFlightSimulator‬ . For this video, we change the Radio Stack options in the on-board Tablet to the NON-GPS option so we have to do it old-school!

I'll show you how to:
1) Tune VORs, activate them, navigate with them and see distance and ETA
2) Tune ADF/NDBs, activate them, and navigate with them
3) Tune an ILS approach and hand fly it manually using the instruments

The route should you wish to give it a go for a short and simple training flight:
Depart LGAV (Athens), tune ATV VOR (114.4) and fly direct to it. Then fly direct to the Aigina EGN NDB (382.0) before heading towards Megara MGR NDB (405.0). Then turn back on yourself, tracking the ILS Frequency for the runway you wish to approach on!
We used Runway 03R for take-off and landing in this tutorial.

Of course, there is more to it - including the fact that the Gyropilot can fly and track all of the above, including an ILS approach! But that will be done on another tutorial soon of course. The basics always need to come first... and I'm learning as I go too!

Hope you enjoyed it - and those with the DC-6, I hope you're enjoying it as much as I am! Be sure to click Like on the video down below and Subscribe while you're here too.
