Can I add a navaid (NDB)

I have found an airport (XP 10.5) which does not have a navaid (NDB) yet one exists in the real world.

Is it possible to add this navaid and if so where.

 

I am now thinking that perhaps XP uses the NAVAIDS file located in RESOURCES/GNS430/NAVDATA folder. Is that correct?

 

If so I need to understand all the parameters for each line (navaid) so that I can manually add one

 

eg the one for YSRI NDB is -

 

RIC,RICHMOND,347.000,0,0,195,-33.596931,150.776397,0,YM,0

 

The first parameters are obvious (to me) and parameters 7 and 8 are the geo coordinates.

 

I think perhaps parameters 4 and 5 denote the navaid type and parameter 6 is the range and parameter 9 is the elevation but not sure.

 

What about the others?

 

I could not find any documentation about this.

 

 

Thanks

I think I have found the way to do this.

By editing and adding a relevant line to the EARTHNAV.DAT file in CUSTOM DATA folder.

 

Seems maybe I have found something that no one else knew about?
