Adding ATIS frequency which is not included

[Urmel81]

Hello,
is it possible to add an ATIS Frequency which is not included in ADE?

Olbia has 113.9 for ATIS

Thanks
Urmel

Add your new Comm. If you are saying that the frequency is wrong then you can edit it provided it does not clash with another freqency at the airport

Thanks,
but 113.900 is not included in this list. I can't select it.

ADE provides a list of frequencies which are accepted by the sim. As far as I know this has list has not been changed. Someone will put me right but I recall that radios would not accept frequencies outside the range provided. If you want to try and change it then you would need to download the ProKey which can add functions to ADE including a direct edit tool called the Raw Data View.

With this you can change the frequency to any value but you will need to see if the sim will accept it or whether you can actually tune to it. If the frequencies provided by ADE as valid are out of date then we can look at updating them

ADE won't even compile with 113.9. It seems not to be possible to add ATIS.

It is possible but not with that frequency. I assume the compiler error is frequency out of range?

Yes. So it seems it is not possible to include the real world frequency to this Airport.

From my time back as an Real World Pilot, the Frequencies 108.0 MHz to117.95 MHz are reserved vor Navaids and from 118.00 Mhz to 137.00 Mhz are reserved for Voice- and other Communication-Methods.
Perhaps Olbia tramsmits the ATIS over a VOR which might be not allowed within FS.

118 to 137 for comms?

 

[cfstaeheli]

Typing mistake, sure it is 118.00 Mhz to 137.00 Mhz!

 

[cfstaeheli]

Olbia Costa Smeralda VOR-DME 113.9 MHz, many VOR-DME's transmit the ATIS on their frequency, see my modified link-list above!

Long ago:

FS2004 - ATIS Frequency range

Real world airports sometimes have ATIS below 118.000 MHz (FYWH Windhoek, Namibia: 114.5MHz) ADE does not accept these values, because comm radios of fs9 cannot be tuned to these values, I suppose(?). If I use AFCAD2, I can insert these values. They are displayed in "world - map" and in...

As an aside, since it comes up now and then, there is a difference in COM frequency ranges between FSX and P3d4. Aircraft in P3d4 can support military COM frequencies:

But that's assuming that the aircraft's COM radio gauge will support those frequencies also.
