You need to be in ILS or TCN mode before dialing, and you can set a frequency either by dialing the frequency directly (just like the com radio) or by selecting a channel.

Sorry for bumping this thread, but i still dont get it.
When i go to tacan mode, and dial in the freq. to a nearby VOR, nothing happens.
When i start a flight, navs default is 113.70, and that one shows up on the HSI. When i go to tacan mode, there are : before T/R and X. When i clear it, and set i.e 113.85, wich is a close VOR, the : before the X switches to Y, and refuses to go back to X, and nothing more happens. Same thing in ILS mode. Nothing happens.
And how on earth do you adjust the heading bug?
I thought i had a fairly good grasp on these things, but now im really at a loss.
Would be grateful for any help.
OBTW: Beacon and coms work just fine.
EDIT: found the heading and course buttons "blush". But still not able to get any VORs in.

hey virtuali, on the other thread http://www.fsdreamteam.com/forum/index.php?topic=310.0 you said that you'd need a not implemented mechanism to make RALT work right.
well, i guess i misunderstood how the RALT is supposed to work, when you said "There's no way to manually pre select a different altitude" i thought you couldnt do that because thats what RALT would do, and it is not working, but i guess i was wrong. so i was wondering if you could please write a brief explanation of how would RALT work please
thanks much.
ps.: i thought this thread would be more appropriate to this question
virtuali:
RALT is simply Autopilot keeping a constant altitude based on Radar-Altitude, comparing to the standard FS AP Altitude mode, that always locks on Barometric Altitude (BALT).
In both cases, there's no altitude preselection, it's just that BALT is depending on the Barometric readout (hence, it only changes with changing of pressure), were RALT keeps changing to chase the terrain elevation, keeping the airplane at a constant distance from ground. RALT, of course, is not simulated, for the said reason we can't read ground altitude in advance, but only just below the airplane, when it would be to late to correct, especially at high speed.

ahhh now i got it
thanks
that reminds me one of the f-22 games, when u press L and it keeps you heading foward, and avoiding the mountains automatically (keeping you at some distance from the ground, in that case, the mountains) lol
