SUMMARY
=======
If you place custom navigational aids with Flight Simulator Aircraft &
Scenery Designer (ASD), the following accuracies can be expected:
Navigational Aid North/South East/West
---------------- ----------- ---------
VOR 128 meters 1 meter
ILS No variance No variance
NDB No variance No variance
Audible markers 128 meters 128 meters
Using the Longitude/Latitude feature may introduce additional variance due to the
complexity of the conversion algorithm. The Flight Simulator coordinate system
provides the highest degree of accuracy.

================
To confirm the positional accuracy of navigational aids, use the following
steps:
1. Boot Flight Simulator 4.00 with ASD.
2. Press 1 (Mode).
3. Press J (Scenery Design).
4. Press 1 (Static Scenery).
5. Press C (Add Buildings, Objects).
6. Press A (Total Length) and type 100.
7. Press ENTER.
8. Press B (Total Width) and type 100.
9. Press ENTER twice.
10. Press A (to add object).
11. Press ESC.
12. Press H (Add Navigational Aids).
13. Press 1 (to choose navigational aid).
14. Press ENTER.
15. Press A (to add Navigational aid).
16. Press ESC.
17. Press J (Edit Static Scenery).
18. Press A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and I (do NOT press H).
19. Press TAB (Find Next Object).
The navigational aid just created should be selected. Note the location of the
navigational aid in relation to the building. Knowing that the building is
100-by-100-feet square, you can estimate the placement accuracy.
