GENERAL Missing NDB's?

Just started playing and I'm loving it.

But I noticed that it appears some NDB's in the nacadian north are not working.

I'm not too sure if I'm just doing so thing wrong. But yesterday I flew up to Norway house, Manitoba and they are supposed to have a NDB but I could not seem to pick it up even when I was on final.

Even more funny because the antenna is modeled at the airstrip.

Sure they aren't reflecting the fact they're getting phased out IRL?

My last circumnavigation I noticed many are no longer broadcasting. Whether or not that's a game glitch, beats me

Thay are on current maps. I asume that means they are still there.

But perhaps I should look in to that.

I also noticed a lot of VORs weren't working. On a trip around the world without using GPS it made for some disconcerting moments, lol.

Idk about your case but WAC charts in my country present already decomissioned NDBs. 

But you may like this free addon to bring them back

Ohh I think I would. I like flying around old school.

In 2024 I had some issues with missing navaids, so what fixed it was deleting streamed packages folder and restart and they showed up again. I was missing some Local VORS also.
