VOR

Any freebie programs \ websites or info that explains how this crazy device works ? I don't really understand it and whenever I answer a question on it, it appears to be more guess work than anything.

Although the answer always seems simple after somebody told me.

I.e. if I am on a 90degree radial FROM a VOR, what bearing do I fly (assuming no wind) to arrive at the for ? It's the inverse which is 180 degrees. But what happens after I fly over the VOR ? Do I have a 90 TO on the VOR now ? Do I have 180 FROM ?

How on earth do I read the VOR component itself to see what it's telling me ? I can't even read the degrees ?

Any freebie programs, or web pages that go into it are gratefully received.
