Hi
I have some VOR and NDB in plan G that are duplicated (one on top or nearly on top of the other)
How can I delete the ones I don't want?
regards

I use FSX, WIN7-64

You'd have to find the bgl files containing the duplicates and remove them.

First, many thanks for the great product you have put!
I thought about finding the separate BGL files with the same VOR and NDB as you suggest. But then I realized that I don't see the duplicates in FSX (map view) neither in FS Commander. I suppose that PlanG reads navaids differently than FSX and FS Commander...
I am going to have to figure out how to (a) find the guilty BGL's and (b) edit them. I suppose I would have to use something like EasyNavs. I would appreciate ideas of how to do that
Best regards

Look in the log file after a database build, will be a start. It won't list the VORs themselves, but you may be able to spot multiple files covering the same airport or region etc.

All you then need to do is move the bgl files before you build the database, and put them back afterwards.
