I11 KVCV DME frequency mismatch

Post by aventura »

I used p3d to fly the I11 exam yesterday night.
The test requires flying a DME arc for the KVCV Rwy 17 approach.While approaching the IAF I could not pick the signal from the LOC/DME until I realized, with less then a mile to go, that my p3d version had a different frequency for that navaid (109.40 rather than 109.05). The I11 description lists this as a potential issue for XPlane, but not for P3D, so unless you have recently updated your navaids (which I will do tonight!) be warned!

On a different note, I flew the worst DME arc in the history of aviation, but the controller was nice enough to forgive me and gave me a pass anyway :D
