Decided i wanted to be a pilot recently, started plkaying msfs 2020 5 days ago. I've been pulling my hair out trying to figure out VOR and you have made me understand it better than any other video I've watched so far. Saving this to use later for when I fly all over my home City of London...IN THE RAIN!
Commercial Multi-IFR pilot. One of the most straightforward, easy to understand explanations on these items I've come across. Nicely done. Great refresher. Thank you.
I'm convinced that when people ad a comment, they have the "I'll Bragg about myself" switch turned on. STOP BRAGGING ABOUT YOURSELVES, you don't need to tell the entire world what you're license is etc just to say it's a good /helpful video
I’ve watched a bunch of VOR videos and finally one has left me with not 2, not 1, but 0 questions. Well done and thank you! MSFS makes a great tool for real time modeling and practice as well
You are the very first, who managed to solve the riddles of combining VORs, DME and ADF for me. And i tell you, i'm quite some time into flightsims. Thanks a lot!
I don't know what you done, but I've watched countless tutorials about navigation and haven't been able to comprehend it. until i found this. kudos man, you've helped out a lot. subbed
Thankyou. Your tutorial video's are the the best I've seen and I especially liked the part about using the VOR to line up with the runway near the end of the video.
Thank you sunshine bro. I live in Kissimmee and ive been learning about this subject, your explanation is so simple and clean that i just took the grasp of it in one watch. Thank you for sharing your experience. I am using MSFS to complement the studies too. Safe flying Cap.
My man you made it so easy.. i kept getting lost on flight sim cause i want to keep it realistic. Never understood how to set the VOR ect. This is perfect. Sad thing is videos i watched with well known pilots... they didnt get to the point and was way too complicated
Brilliant video! I spent quite a while watching other videos trying to understand how to fly using VOR and you're video taught me everything I needed to know. Thanks very much :-)
Long ago I would go into flight similar and just put in some numbers that it understood as a location. And start it. Then use the VOR's to find out where I am! With 2 VOR'S I can draw lines out from them and where they meet is where I am. I did that for a long time before I started flight training!
Just realize that'll only work if the VOR is located on the airport property (and generally close to the runway in question). Plenty of VORs aren't located on/at the airport - in those cases (or if the VOR is at the airport but far from your desired runway) this trick will not work to line you up with the specific runway. You would need to reference the appropriate VOR Instrument Approach chart (if one exists) to know the appropriate OBS course to select.
Thanks Greg. It's a VOR simulator I found. Just Google VOR simulator. I wish it was downloadable software but all I have found so far is one through a web browser / website.
People DO still use VOR but yes, GPS has definitely taken over. You still have to learn VOR for IFR training. And VOR knowledge is just great to know, especially in the event that a GPS isn't working for some reason.
Do you know if the DME works? Especially in the 172, there seems to be no instrument specifically for it and on the display it doesn't look like it's working
Nice video, but haven’t seen anybody explain what all the knobs do on the ADF tuner. There’s a little turntable knob on the right and I was wondering what that did?
Thank you for the very informative video, which helped me to understand about them. May I ask which plane it was as I m new to the sim. I can't find this in the MSF2024. Anh I have a xbox x.
Thank you so much for this video buddy, I will definitely subscribe me now to your channel, it helped me a lot to understand the way it works and will also help me pass the exam ! cheers from Colombia
@@BradySkye I did my ppl (uk) in 2014 and it lapsed 4 years ago so I've just had my first reintroduction flight today and swatting up on radio nav incase my instructor asked for it on my skills test!
So if you were to plan a flight from Jacksonville FL to Memphis TN, you would need to plot out your route, knowing the direction of travel to the different VORs and all their frequencies.
Correct. At least have some VORs in mind in case your GPS failed ... but really you can just use a GPS. VORs were made before GPS technology. ForeFlight is a very popular app / subscription many people are using. I use it when flying from point A to B as well.
Omni means omni! It does not mean that the VOR transmitting station is transmitting discrete beams. Your airplane's receiver can calculate what radial it's on (or trying to find) and can calculate to/from info and it does so by receiving signals that are broadcast in all directions from the VOR transmitting station. Here's the best vid I've found on how this works: ruclips.net/video/tZ2gG1v9Xg8/видео.html
How would you find the airport you are looking to land at that’s not right near the VOR ? As you as you did for St Augustine. Cause I would think if you put in the runway heading you would just fly parallel if you don’t visually see it
@@BradySkye thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, the needed Adobe Flash is out of Service and cant be installed anymore, as you can't get the Installer anymore. So all websites, using Adobe Flash, are dead. Do you maybe also know a different site, which still can be used?
My VOR on my Cessna 152 in the game (Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020), it's not showing any of the TO or FROM flags... I don't know why... I did tune the VOR correctly, and I heard the correct mores code. Can Somebody help me out? Thanks! :)

Great tutorial. Clear and easy to understand. I’ve got GPS down but was frustrated by these other nag guides. Excellent work. Helped greatly.
This is the first tutorial that I actually understand. Very well presented. Thanks.
Great to hear!
You are the very first, who managed to solve the riddles of combining VORs, DME and ADF for me. And i tell you, i'm quite some time into flightsims. Thanks a lot!
Very clear and concise explanation, thanks Brady. I especially liked the explanation of the use case of the second VOR frequency.
Thanks Tim! Glad this helped!
💯✔️!!
I’ve struggled with vor for God knows how long I finally understand how to use a gazillion thank you to you good sir
Awesome video, short and to the point. 10/10
Glad it helped! Thanks for the comment.
This was great thank you, I think flying light aircraft on a sim, vor or adf is a much more enjoyable way to fly
This was cool, just used it to figure out the VOR in the 152 in MSFS. Had a great flight and didnt use the VFR map once in the sim!
Nice Andrew! That's great to hear. Thanks for the feedback : ) Keep in touch.
Best tutorial about VOR navigation for MSFS on youtube. Thank you.
Thanks Ariel!
Best VOR Navigation tutorial I've come across so far, by far! Think I'm starting to get it. Where can I find free reliable charts though?
Glad to hear that! AirNav.com is one of the best places for free charts in the USA.
@@BradySkye do you have recommendations for Europe and the rest of the world, too?
@@pfr2544 Yes. GPS lol.
@@BradySkye GPS is just for girls! 😉
@@pfr2544 lol. Whatever keeps people from crashing is fine with me.
Brilliant demonstration and explanation.
Thank you.
Very quick, concise well illustrated. Excellently presented.
Hey thanks I really appreciate it.
Thanks for the training! Was super well explained. Good stuff ... two thumbs up!
Much appreciated and glad it was helpful!

Very well explained! You kept it simple for new people who are just learning and when they look at an aircraft dash get overwhelmed!
Thanks so much! Glad to hear it :D
Excellent! I'm not a pilot, but I use MSFS, but I never thought about using the Nav 2 VOR for another reference. Thanks!
Brady ! THANK YOU ! Amazing video !
Great content thanks for making this man! Best example I've found
Thanks Riley! Glad you like it : )
This is exactly what I was looking for! thank you
Dude, thank you for making this!!
You're welcome bro!
Very easy way of explaining difficult concept. Thanks
Awesome explanation! more videos please
What you should also do when hearing the morse identifier is compare it to the chart as a double check you're on correct freq
WOW. Great hand holding tutorial. This is just what I needed. Thx so much. Thumbs up.
This is an excellent explanation, I’m at that point in the test prep of radio navigation, this clears it up!
SUPER, GREAT PRESENTATION, MINT.""cheers.
Priceless lessons

Tha ks very much I am going to now try plan a vor flight after watching this I am now subscribed
Learning so much about aviation on your channel! Keep the content coming!
Awesome man! Great to hear that. Will do : )
It was really helpful after reading all about it in the books and getting so confused!
Great tutorial. Thanks!!!🤩
Brilliant video! I spent quite a while watching other videos trying to understand how to fly using VOR and you're video taught me everything I needed to know. Thanks very much :-)
Thank you very very much for this compact and easily understandable explanation!
You're very welcome! VOR is such a neat, historical tool. Fun too. Trying to keep the history alive. Happy flying!
just got MSFS 2020; was wondering what those dials do; many thanks
You're very welcome! Happy to help.
I love your video! No waste of time, everything you say it's useful and very clear! Thanks!
Very Very nice!!! Thank you so much

useful & clear, great thx.
GREAT TUTORIAL
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Hey glad you enjoyed it! I’m excited to get back into Flight Sim. I just set it up on a new computer. Expect a lot more content coming soon.
Right to the point. Nice video.
super informative video for an armchair pilot like me. thank you so much!

Hey, thanks!
Most educational
Awesome tutorial! It all made sense to me thanks to you, I had no idea that VOR could be used for landing!
Glad I could help!
Nice lesson! Tkx
Dude good job 👏
Perfect!! Your videos are great. Thank you!
Hey thanks so much! That means a lot.
Excellent explanation 💪🏼
Thanks!
Love flight, maybe I'll be able to fly again
I wish to get my PPL one day.. but your videos give me hope 😊
It is definitely attainable!
Nicely done sir 👍🙏🏻 Stay safe and Happy Landings! Have subscribed 🇬🇧🇺🇸✈️
Very interesting, thanks.
You're welcome Ron!
Good job explaining this! Thanks for your efforts
My pleasure, and thanks so much.
Great tutorial thank you. Nice to know how to line up with a runway by turning the OBS to runway heading and follow the needle. Pretty cool.
Just realize that'll only work if the VOR is located on the airport property (and generally close to the runway in question). Plenty of VORs aren't located on/at the airport - in those cases (or if the VOR is at the airport but far from your desired runway) this trick will not work to line you up with the specific runway.

@@ElkoBarbell That makes sense. Thank you for clarifying.
Very informative. learn a lot today. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Very helpful. Thanks!
No worries! Glad it was useful for ya. Neat technology.
Great tutorial. What application did you use in the video to show how things work? Looks like a great practice/learning tool.
Thanks Greg. It's a VOR simulator I found. Just Google VOR simulator. I wish it was downloadable software but all I have found so far is one through a web browser / website.
Thanks great clear and concise. Im off to try haha. Have a sub.
This is pretty cool! Do people still use VOR in practice today, or have GPS devices taken over at this point?
People DO still use VOR but yes, GPS has definitely taken over. You still have to learn VOR for IFR training. And VOR knowledge is just great to know, especially in the event that a GPS isn't working for some reason.
Vor's make flying super fun. GPS has definitely taken over but knowing how to utilize a Vor does wonders for vfr flying
Do you know if the DME works? Especially in the 172, there seems to be no instrument specifically for it and on the display it doesn't look like it's working
DME mostly just works with GPS’s I believe.
@@BradySkye How about VOR's equipped with DME's. In other sims I have no issues
Great video!!!!
Thank you!!
Очень наглядное объяснение, спасибо большое.
Nice video, but haven’t seen anybody explain what all the knobs do on the ADF tuner. There’s a little turntable knob on the right and I was wondering what that did?
All it does is change the ADF frequency.
Thank you, very much appreciated!
No worries! Thanks for tuning in (pun-intended).
Thank you!
Well done sir!
Thanks Edward! Glad you enjoyed this.
How to use vor if we need to fly not directly to a vor station, but between two stations (next to a station)?
That is more advanced and would be good to cover in another video. Unfortunately, VOR technology is becoming increasingly obsolete.
Thanks.
great video. How do you speed up your journey in the simulator? you said you speed it up 4x and 2x. Just wonder how you do that. cheers.
Thanks! Hold down the 'R' key (which stands for rate) then use + and - (which I use on my num pad).
Thank you for the very informative video, which helped me to understand about them.
May I ask which plane it was as I m new to the sim. I can't find this in the MSF2024. Anh I have a xbox x.
Hey thanks! Glad it was helpful. Cessna 172.

Haven’t even got ms flight sim yet and probably just going to use gps but found this a great video anyway! Subbed
lol Yeah GPS has taken over. Thanks for the sub Martin!

This is one of them: www.luizmonteiro.com/learning_vor_sim.aspx. Just Google VOR Simulator.
@@BradySkye thanks for your reply. Unfortunately, the needed Adobe Flash is out of Service and cant be installed anymore, as you can't get the Installer anymore. So all websites, using Adobe Flash, are dead. Do you maybe also know a different site, which still can be used?
When I get my PPL and Texas will I be able to primarly use a GPS for Navigation? Or will I have to also learn how to navigate using VOR?
Also great videos here... came from the viral training video.
@@Zay13378 Thanks! For a PPL you don't have to learn VOR. Only if you go for an IFR rating afterward.
I’m still unsure how you used the VOR to line up with the runway
Awesome 😎
Great vid. Where can i find vor in the game or is there a website for
Certain airplanes already have it equipped like the Cessna 172:
Good job, that's what I cut my teeth on back in the day. Brings back memories.
