Don't quite understand the question. In real world, we use Flight
Computers (manual or
electronic) to punch in the winds aloft at certain altitude. also
factors are the difference
in magnetic and true north, compass error etc.
In simulator it is pretty easy to fly VOR headings:
Assume that the first heading is 124 degrees at frequency 110.6:
1. Tune 110.6 on VOR1 or 2
2. On VOR receiver, set the heading 124 with "TO" indicator
3. Track the VOR
4. Make sure that Compass and heading indicators match

Hi!

I have a question about flying VFR with a VOR-to-VOR method.

When I ask the simulator to plot the route frm airport A to airport B, it
plots a series of straights Airp A - VOR1 - VOR2 - Airp B.

Now, what I would like to know is the direction for each of the segments!


I


can only eyeball each one: 045 degrees. Or maybe 062 degrees?

I guess, in real life when you plot route yourself on the real map and
adjust for the side wind, you can find the angle by using protractor. How
do I do that in simulator???

Thanks!
