I'm a new FG user and a new sim user. i've played around a lot and been learning a lot. I need help though with Instrument landing settings. I'm running 0.9.8 on Mac OS 10.3.8 and works well. I'm just confused about the radio settings. when i go to the ATC menu and enter an airport in frequencies, It lists ATIS and four tower freqs. When I go to Radio settings under the Equipment menu, it has entries for COM1 and COM2 and standby for both and NAV1 and NAV2 and standby for both and ADF. WHich frequencies go where? I understand that VOR is usually 108-112 and OBS and localizer would be 108-126. But in my learning situation, from KSFO to KOAK, none of those ranges are listed when I enter KOAK to get the frequencies. A little help to know what to put where please???
This is the way I understand the freqs
Nav 108-118Mghz this includes vor,loc,glideslope,ils.And the general rule with this is the ils
freqs are between 108-112Mghz and the vor freq between 112-118.So you could for example
assume a freq of 109.50Mghz would be a ILS freq while a freq of 114.80Mghz would be a VOR
Comm 118-and up are communication freqs with 120.5 more than likely the tower freq for the
airport.
ADF 100-1000Khz<--Note not Mghz.These by and large have been replaced by VOR.
I must admit I did not know about the ATC/AI-frequencies selection but after having a look
it would appear that not all the frequencies for any given airport are displayed in this window.
If you start with the default Cessna and have a look at the radio panel you will see that the freqs
set in the Nav1 and Comm1 windows are KSFO freqs while the freqs in the Nav2 and Comm2
windows are KOAK freqs.Also notice that the ILS freq for 28R(111.7) does not appear in the
frequencies box in ATC/AI.
