In the real world I was flying a Bell 204B slinging air compressors around to support a hydro project in Northern Quebec. I took off with the sling load, the sky was clear of cloud, I dropped off the sling load (4,000 lb compressor) and returned to the pickup point for another load. I was only gone for about 45 minutes but an undercast of cloud had moved in and I found myself overhead my landing spot which was now covered by an overcast under me.
My chart indicated that there was an am radio station at the North shore of a reasonable sized lake. I put myself overhead the station and descended through cloud to the lake surface as a cloud breaking manoeuvre, saved my bacon that day. Yes, keep the am stations going and let’s use them in MSFS.
Yes, it might be like pulling teeth to just get a couple of Events, if they have anything to do with weather - even if they were needed for what is really a non-weather App.
@CptLucky8 release those NOW (or as soon as humanly possible) for MSFS. Either as payware or freeware. Obvi as freeware there’s no money to be made, but at least it might pop you up on some people’s radar who need to be paying more attention to you. That alone may make it worth releasing as freeware. Or do it as payware. I’d pay for it, well, except it was my idea first (at least I thought it was) so I think that’s worthy of a free copy, no?
I had to try…

@CptLucky8 In my experience, that rarely happens.
I would like to see this implemented.
I always heared about how you can use local AM stations as an auxiliar ADF and listen to the radio. It could be a really neat feature in MSFS
I see this one got activated again.
Just to point out, if such a system was created, it would NOT have to have anything to do with the MSFS Nav Database.
It would be an entire independent app, that has the AM station Database, got the plane’s position and the tuned ADF freq from MSFS (by simconnect), and then played the Audio on a separate, Non MSFS audio channel.
It would also get the Planes position from MSFS, know the position of the Radio station from its own database, and thus be able to drive the ADF needle by Simconnect, and only play the AM station audio when within a specified RADIO range, getting the radio audio from the Internet
Really, quite an easy App to design & make
Great idea, though we often see some free online services become payware service at some point, when the online service provider see some requests increase in their logs. Thinking of thousands of simmers connecting at the same time to such available resources … Worth the investigation to see if it would be achievable in any case 
“WJUL - Almost as many watts as your toaster!”
“WJUL - Almost as many watts as your hair dryer!”
I’d like to hear the sferics from lightning and see the needle swing toward storms. Than in itself is nostalgic, whether from flying, driving, or listening to AM from home.
I’d like to hear any noise or static, on both the ADF and the Nav radios .
The Wing42 B247D has that built-in, complete with royalty-free 1930’s music.
Thank you !! (and my credit card thanks you as well) – but their website seems to be badly broken, and while many rave how detailed the plane is, at the same time they claim that the developer does not respond to customers, and there have been no updates.
A bit of a Red Flag ?
OK, so this is me doing some “Research” before just blindly clicking on a Purchase button !!
Usually the website comes back up. It’s also avail from the marketplace, though.
Indeed, the developer has gone missing / silent and there are no updates or support.
There are a few issues, but if you handle it carefully, if flies superbly and with unique features.
I am biased though. I’m the developer of the RadioRange Navigation system and the Music system in it.
Fully functional Radio Range Navigation
The Wing42 Boeing 247D features an now outdated radio navigation system called “radio range”. The pilot of a historic 1930s aircraft would dial in a frequency on the radio and listen to the changing Morse code transmitted to find his way. It is an annoying and challenging, yet very rewarding way of navigating the skies. We included almost 700 historical radio stations (around 400 of them located in the U.S.A.) and outfitted the aircraft with a Bendix MR1B wireless controller.
But fear not! We also provide plenty of information in form of manuals and video tutorials to get you started!
