Currently the frequencies listed for LFMI and LFMY are: LFMI: Tower 122.1 Tower 123.6 Tower 257.8 Tower 356.32 LFMY: Tower 122.1 Tower 135.15 Tower 141.25 Tower 257.8 Tower 275.45 I generated them from the DAFIF data, you (and others) can send corrections, additions and clarifications to me and I'll store them and apply them each time the files are regenerated. So far I've only generated tower and ATIS frequencies, so I don't know if any of the listed tower frequencies would also be in the DAFIF data as ground as well. As for which frequencies would be most likely to be used by civilian traffic, that's rather a can of worms at the moment. Each airport in Robin Peel's data should be flagged either military or civil, but at the moment it appears that they are all listed as civil. In the case of mixed use airports (or military airports that allow civilian traffic) I'm not sure how to store the information regarding which frequencies are most likely to be used for civilian traffic etc. Eventually I think that each airport will have a corresponding xml file with things like tower closing times, preferred circuit directions and runways etc, and other stuff like preferred frequencies for a given use could go into it, but it's not implemented yet.
