[BUG] - VOR Distances

[joon44]

Describe the bug

VORs are shown ridiculously far away

Steps to reproduce

Input a distant VOR by frequency or by the navaid identifier into NAVRAD page and see the distance. Is there a VOR database where the distance and bearing is being fetched? In this case with the identifier it could be received even over long distances but it seems to work with the frequency also.

Expected behaviour

Show the VOR only when there is a signal.

Evidence

In this case YDF is shown 1261 miles away

I input HEL manually and it is shown 1464 miles away

Trying to see if HEL is shown with its frequency 114.2 I get SOG 935 miles away

Simulator

Microsoft Flight Simulator 2020 (MSFS)

Crash

No

Agreement

• [X] Yes

They are indeed coming from a database and the lat/lon/frequency are known. I'd like to hear from a pilot how it behaves in that case. The radio system itself (ILS, etc.) does require actual signal, but the aircraft is aware of distant navaids.

Just came across this one on youtube. Identifier and bearing is shown but not the distance

[joon44]

Also in this picture only tuned frequency is shown but no actual data. Also both pointers are missing which leads me wondering if the pointers, bearing and the distance are only shown when there is the actual signal.

In theory 300NM should be the limit acc this
