Both come under the category of 'problems with the nav radio code'.  
The second in particular I hope to work  on 'soon' - I don't know  
nearly enough about modelling radio reception to improve the code (or  
make judgements about its quality) to address the first issue.

You may notice I've been careful in my emails to state the areas I'm  
working on, precisely because there's many overlapping problems. The  
GS needle indications are wrong in the aircraft - no amount of  
improvements or advanced modelling in the navradio code will matter,  
if the panels aren't handling the output deflection sanely. Similarly,  
I've been cleaning up the code so that changes to the behaviour are  
hopefully cleaner and easier in the future.

BTW, for NDBs, FlightGear *should* be picking the closest NDB with the  
matching frequency - exactly as MSFS. If that's not what you're  
seeing, that's a bug, and likely my fault. Please let me know a  
suitable test location and NDB frequencies / idents to reproduce the  
problem, and I'll take a look.

James
