737NG Manually Tuned VOR Question
Hi,
first of all, I'm not a pilot, my question regards an issue using Flight Simulator X with the iFly 737-800 (the iFly is very accurate so I think that maybe the ND is very similiar to the real world)
- The 737-800 on FSX has an auto-tuning capability, it automatically tunes in to near VORs, does this happen in the real 737NG too?
- I often like to manually tune a VOR so that I get DME readings on the ND and have greater situational awareness, so I set the frequency on NAV1 or 2 and I set the course I want on the MCP. I get the green dotted line that shows me the course and the reciprocal....
the question is, the ND often gets too cluttered, so how do I get rid of the green dotted-line?? The only way I can find is to manually "untune" NAV1 or I change the course so I no longer see the green line...but I'm sure there has to be a better solution!
- When I manually tune a VOR, how do I go back to "auto-tuning"?
Thanks for your help.
