Say, for example, you know that the heading from one airport to another is 200 degrees (assuming no wind), would that be the heading that you have the arrow pointing to on the VOR, with the needle showing you whether you were you left or right of track?
Sorry if this is a silly question!
Assuming that the VOR is either at the departure, or destination airfield, Yes, except that, if you go off track, the left/right needle will show which way to go to get back on track.

Ps. There are no silly questions, just confusing answers.
