I have tested from on ground with the default C152 at NZPP tuning to 112.30, VOR for NZWN

On my Sim this fails to respond, on my son’s installation of MSFS2024 at the same plane / location etc this work.

I have disabled all in my community folder which has not resolved the issue.

I will take a look in a bit.

Ok I see what is going on. Your son doesn’t have navdata from Navigraph installed but you do (double check your community folder). I assume that you shouldn’t be able to pick up this station from the ground there and Navigraph addresses this issue.

If I remove this I am able to (unrealistically) pick up the Wellington VOR/DME at Kapiti Coast Airport (I spawned on the paved runway 34).

The fix was to uninstall / reinstall MSFS2024, once everything was put back as prior to issue being raised VOR are now functional.

Hence this shows the issue was with MSFS2024 and not any additional content / airport / airplane etc

Disappointed with MSFS for causing this problem.

I had tried to disable any addons, it didn’t appear to help with my installation.

I’m curious, how would you know what I & my son have installed ?

I don’t literally but I used the information you provided and did some testing at the exact same location and had a pretty good idea of why this was happening. Please don’t take this personally but some people say they do something (in this case clearing their community folder) but don’t.

Without Navigraph…
