How to Perform a VOR/DME Approach! [Boeing 737NG] [PMDG & P3D]
1,571A detailed and extensive tutorial showing you how to perform a VOR/DME approach using the PMDG Boeing 737NG! Using examples of Graz Airport, Austria and Dubrovnik, Croatia, we examine a rather simple, and a more complex VOR/DME approach!

--- INFO ---
This video gives you an idea of how to perform a VOR/DME approach using the PMDG Boeing 737NG in Prepar3D. I AM NOT A REAL WORLD PILOT, THIS IS ONLY FOR FLIGHT SIMULATION PURPOSES. I just like to present you this information as a fellow flight simulation enthusiast. If you have any comments or remarks, feel free to share them, because we, and me, are all here to learn! :)
I can imagine that there are other ways of performing these approaches by making a whole lot more use of the FMS and its LNAV and VNAV functions, but the method I show you here is more 'hands-on' and involves more manual input using the autopilot. You are free to choose YOUR way though. Since I am not a real world airline pilot, I cannot show a 'proper' way to do this approach, I'm just showing you MY way of doing it, but feel free to comment on it and to adjust it yourself ;).
As mentioned in the pinned comment, in the real world non-precision approaches are flown using LNAV and VNAV data while using the VOR and DME data as a reference (except for abnormal situations). Since this is just flight simulation you see here, you can do it the way you like though, and it might even be a bit more fun and, I personally think, it helps you to understand the fundamentals of VOR/DME approaches if you do it the more manual way as shown in my video.
An approach to runway 17C at Graz, Austria is flown (simple VOR/DME approach) and an approach to runway 30 at Dubrovnik, Croatia (hard VOR/DME approach). Make sure you start off easy, then go to more complex approaches.
P.S.
I'm sorry about some video and audio lags and volume weirdness here and there. Somehow my recording settings are messed up and need a new review...
