General Question VOR and/or Loran frequency assignments

[llarian]

This is a question that has bugged me for awhile: Does Orbiter have a method for assigning VOR frequencies? Or does the base developer just set his/her own? Do we just use VOR frequencies and not Loran or eLoran for longer distance beacons?

You must define the frequencies, either in the base file or in the planet config. No LORAN or similar, also no TACAN.

Thanks Urwumpe. Nothing I didn't already know, the VOR frequencies are chosen and applied by the developer, which is what I had been doing on other projects. Just wanted to make sure the community had not set frequency standards for extra-earth bases.

Not that I know. Also no changes yet from O2016. Avoiding collisions involves human interaction.

Which I was reminded of this weekend. At small airfield just outside Ottawa, two planes from the same flying school met in midair. One plane had a wing sheared off. That pilot didn't make it. The other plane made it back to the field. The two people aboard that one did survive.

Yep, human interaction.
