ASTi Model Builder: Navigation Aids
Navigation Aids objects such as VOR, TACAN, NDB, VORTAC, Marker Beacon, etc. are available in Model Builder. The user can quickly model the required vehicle and ground-based navigational radios for their simulation. Radio objects accurately model real world equipment with features such as:
  • Morse code keying of navigation tones from ASCII identification strings
  • TACAN, VOR, ILS, ADF, BFO, DME, and Marker Beacon simulation
  • Correct reception of tones based on tuned frequency
  • Station fade with distance or transmitter signal strength
  • Lightning and background noise effects
  • Jamming
  • Line of sight and over-the-horizon simulation
  • Squelch and AGC simulation
  • UHF/VHF and AM/FM transmission
  • Transmission/Reception based on signal strength
See the links in the right-hand sidebar for more information about Model Builder's capabilities.
