• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

FSXA FIR sectors bisection in FSX Acceleration

In FS9 it was feasible to bisect an FIR sector, meaning that the lower part i.e. up to 11100m and the upper up to 100000m. The lower and upper using different frequencies. It worked fine in FS9. Yet, that doesn't seem to happen in FSX, as, if made so, ATC keeps interchanging those frequencies both for AI and user plane every 10 seconds or so.
Has anybody else noticed it and if there is any workaround to it ? Jim ?

Thanks for your time.

I am wondering if this "silence" means either that what I was talking about in my previous message actually exists in FSX and there is no solution, or it happens only on my system.

I don't know of anyone else creating ATC sectors?

I am not creating ATC sectors. What I am doing is to change sector frequencies to match the currently used frequencies in the real world and compile with FSX SDK. Then, the ATC uses them in FSX.
There is no better way to describe it.

The payware add-on for FSX and P3d, fsaerodata, provides a FIR/ARTCC file that is updated with every Navigraph AIRAC.

Thanks Jay.

Problem solved by myself. The entry : minimumAltitudeType="AGL" had to be changed to : minimumAltitudeType="MSL", as, FSX apparently calculates the height from mountains' peaks below, while FS9 apparently does not.
