Ok, stupid newbie question here:

How do I tune the VOR's? I can't find anything that will let me set the frequency in flight. Using FS 2002, Cessna 172. Also, the panel has two VOR's. Can I use both?

Tune the nav radios by hovering your mouse cursor over the right (standby) freq. display. The cursor will change to a + or - pointer. Press the left mouse button to increase or decrease freq.. If you have a scroll wheel mouse use the scroll wheel forward or back. Once the freq is set, click the 'standby' button to switch it to the active freq display. (there are also keyboard commands to do this but I never got into that much, mouse is easier)

Each VOR gauge is tied to just one of the nav radios, top (vor1)is to nav 1 and bottom(vor2) is to nav 2. You can use either or both, only VOR1 has a glide slope for ILS.

Hey, thanks for the info. I think I know what the problem is now. Is there supposed to be a radio stack on the panel? If so, then I guess my screen is scrolled to far to the left because I don't see the radio stack ( which was confusing me because the VOR dials are in full view). Is that the problem?

Gottcha....

Bottom center of the panel are 6 small icons. These are toggles for turning on/off other parts of the panel.

The one that looks like a radio tower toggles the radio stack.

You can try the others to see what they do.

Or maybe have a look in the 'Library/Help'.
