DTY VOR/DME is wrong. Should now be just DME.

The info on the DTY beacon and its presentation on the map is outdated compared to the AIP.  It should now only be a DME.

The current AIP was published on the 11th July and contains this change.  in my Charts config, the United Kingdom entry shows "valid from 11 Jul 2024", so I assume I have the latest update.

The VOR is actually still operating - just intended for terminal use rather than enroute - so we continue to show it. This is really a deficiency in the data we get from Eurocontrol on navaids, which doesn't distinguish a VOR that's intended for enroute use from one intended for terminal use. If the VOR is ever actually switched off, we will remove it.

Where does that information come from?  I can find no mention of DTY in any of the terminal approach procedures for the airfields surrounding the beacon.  Most of them reference HON.

There's a Daventry SID for southbounds from East Midlands.
