Of course it's not. All predefined frequencies are set for the default scenery, no matter where you start or fly to. TACAN is always set for the Nimitz, or better: for what Vivian has temporarily assigned to our Nimitz We couldn't find the real channel. Maybe you can help out here? :-) > They certainly do not match up with Atlas in the majority of cases. That's hard to believe, as Atlas takes its information from the same source as FlightGear. They certainly show and use the same frequencies. There may be some that don't agree with the real world, but you did still not give a single example. :-P A lot of airports have multiple frequencies e.g. for ATIS, and fgfs does AFAIK only listen to one of them. This may explain your experience. > This is why I am looking for a list of frequencies for ADF etc, so as > to have, at a glance, what I need. All the frequencies are, of course, on your hard disk already. In $FG_ROOT/Airports/apt.dat.gz and $FG_ROOT/Navaids/nav.dat.gz On Unix/Linux/Mac it's quite simple to read them out, for example with a tiny script like this: http://members.aon.at/mfranz/freq [6 kB] which says for London: $ freq egll EGLL - London Heathrow ====================== 109.50 DME/GS/LLZ 09R, DME/GS/LLZ 27L 110.30 DME/GS/LLZ 09L, DME/GS/LLZ 27R 113.75 ATIS 115.10 ATIS 118.50 TWR 118.70 TWR 119.72 APP 120.40 APP 121.70 GND 121.85 ATIS 121.90 GND 121.97 CLNC DEL 124.47 TWR 127.52 APP 128.07 ATIS 134.97 APP 348 Fairoaks NDB ("FOS") --> 15.6 km/8.4 nm @ 29 (NNE) 113.60 London VOR-DME ("LON") --> 2.2 km/1.2 nm @ 156 (SSE) 115.30 Ockham VOR-DME ("OCK") --> 18.3 km/9.9 nm @ 358 (N) 114.50 Koksy VORTAC ("KOK") --> 220.2 km/118.9 nm @ 280 (W) Maybe if you install Perl, it would even work under Windows. Or something similar could be written in another language. You can also unpack these databases and find the frequencies in the raw list. It's only a bit tedious then. m. _______________________________________________ Flightgear-users mailing list [email protected] http://mail.flightgear.org/mailman/listinfo/flightgear-users 2f585eeea02e2c79d7b1d8c4963bae2d
