Navigation-Noob needs help!

hey sokol1!
thx for your answer.
if i understand it right, the aircraft symbol shows the magnetic heading,but if i turn the compass-rose, i can no longer read the exact heading,as its the only exact indicator.the only possibility which remains then, is the aircraft symbol which is only an approximate gauge for heading.i can still estimate that im heading south or north and so on,but the exact degrees i can no longer read, as i manipulated the rose!?i think i really got something wrong, but turning the compass rose makes still no sense for me. if i want to fly i.e. 320 and i turn the compass rose that 320 is at 12 o clock,doesnt make it really easier to follow the course. ??

The Bf-109 is compatible with the blind landing system and it works fine. The only deficiency vis-a-vis the 110 is that it doesn't have a radar altimeter but as long as you can get close enough to see the runway lights or get visual on the rwy then it works just fine.

Tested with the G-14.

ok and how you do that???the bfs have only one channel where anytime you can listen the same morse code.no matter in which direction you are from the source.its just a: two times short,one long and another short signal in a row,which keeps continuing the whole time.only if you fly directly over the radio-station then there is this rushing. but if you are not,then you dont have any idea where you are. and there is no afn-gauge!or did i miss something

how can i know in which direction my postion is from the radio station with this signal`?

1) Bf109 DOES HAVE a pointer as described in the 410m documentation, but only the G6 and later versions.

2) Use the pointer on the AFN to point towards an NDB.

3) For landing, fly from a known point, like an NBD or a river junction you can identify at night and set a course towards your base. Only use the Lorenz landing beacon to line up for the final approach.

First off, let me give my deepest thanks and appreciation to TD for their outstanding addition to this already fantastic combat simulation. Please do not take this next comment as a criticism, but merely a suggestion.

The Morse code for the ZB Hay Rake is almost impossible to understand. The volume is very low, and the code comes very fast. As a professional pilot, I am very used to tuning into a VOR and identifying it by listening to the Morse code identifier, which comes over the radio much slower than this. I also realize that the way TD did theirs is probably exactly what it must have sounded like back then in RL. The problem is, most of us are not HAM radio operators or professionally trained to read Morse code. Is there a way to change the sound files for the Morse code to a louder and slower version??

hey guys!
now i think i learned the ropes, considering the lorenz landing system.i set up a night mission in fmb and it worked fine. but there is another question i have. i flew in slowakia and gave the airfield lights,but these are always visible.what do i have to do, that i can request the landing lights. i did, but nothing happened,may because there are already the ones i put on.do these landing lights only work on bigger concrete airfields,or on everyone?do i have to add them myself?if so,which one do i have to take.i found 4types in fmb,but i think they are lightening all the time.
