Marin Yang Posted February 15, 2022 at 04:08 AM Posted February 15, 2022 at 04:08 AM We can all agree that AfV has been a major upgrade in realism, and we can see the locations of VHF ground stations on the AfV website. I am wondering, how is HF radio propagation and reception being simulated by AfV? This came to my interest as I was flight planning for our groupflight event: In real world, VHF remote communication outlets cannot cover all the airspaces of Edmonton and Anchorage. Therefore communications on polar routes are supplemented by Gander Radio on NAT-D frequencies. In particular the position reporting on the 141W Anchorage Arctic/Edmonton boundary has to be done thru Gander HF as it is so far away from any landmass. Here I am talking in purely hypothetical terms, but then is it technically possible for AfV to support communications through Gander Radio in polar areas on VATSIM? Marin M.
