Hello everyone,
Some of you may know me as 'Rimshot' from other flight simulator related forums. Once in a while I lurk around here to see what's going on in the world of FS development. I have now created an account in these forums because I have a question of which I'm certain I'll find an answer here.
My question is about the use and the labels of comm frequencies of the FSX/Prepar3D airports. The question rose when I did a couple of flights in my recently purchased Northern Germany region by Orbx and found out that when flying to a smaller uncontrolled field I always got a traffic frequency of 122.9 in the P3D ATC menu. However, on my Plan-G flightplan the frequency for the airports were always matching the real world frequencies. I posted about this in the Orbx forums and someone pointed out it might be related to the fact the frequencies of the airports are labeled as FSS. So does anyone know how this works? I downloaded and setup ADE and tried to change one of those airport frequencies from FSS to unicom. The recompiled bgl then gave me the correct frequency in the ATC menu...
