I have just noticed that PF3 isn't picking up the frequencies for EGKK (UK2000) correctly.

I have run makerunways and the DBupdate twice to see if that alters anything, and it hasn't.

I am using P3Dv3.4 updated to HF2, all the files are added via the scenery library and not via the add-on.xml method.

In the Make runways.text it has this recoreded.

COM: Type=6 (TOWER), Freq=134.22, Name="GATWICK"

In the PF3_P3D_Freq.dat it has the following recoreded.

EGKK,0,0,"Gatwick"
EGKK,1,136.52,"EGKK"
EGKK,5,121.80,"GATWICK"
EGKK,6,121.80,"GATWICK"
EGKK,8,121.95,"GATWICK"

I have had to upload a zip file to my drop box as it is to large to attach here, if you would prefer me to email them just let me know ( https://www.dropbox.com/s/ur9wn99bcqisq ... q.zip?dl=0 ), but I am curious as to why PF3 hasn't picked this info up.

I know I can alter this myself, but I am worried that other airports might be suffering the same issue and I am not aware of them yet.

Any help would be welcome.

Regards Rob

This has nothing to do with PF3 I'm afraid. Please check that MakeRwys is creating a new F5.CSV file in your main FS folder when you run it. All we do during the database rebuild is to make a copy of that F5.CSV file, place it in the PF3\Data folder and name it PF3_???_Freq.dat (where ??? will be either FS9, FSX or P3D

I don't know if my memory is getting worse as I get older...
...I just can't remember how it used to be!

Thanks Dave,

I will have another look, when I last looked all the date and time stamps matched. I will check again when I get home, ill run makerunways again and see if they do change again.
