Hmmm, my first flight testing this, and PF3 didn't do that. Here are my entries for Austin, KAUS, in PF3_FS9_Freq.dat:
Maybe I need to delete any frequencies in the dat file which are not in XP11 (like 118.22, above)? Would deleting those have any 'undesirable consequences' that you can foresee? Attach a log file, in case it's needed. Martin |

Just occurs to me that it might be a lot easier to do this via the PF3 interface (Options 2: 'Add a new facility frequency')? If I add clearance, ground & tower frequencies there, taking the data from X-Plane, to an airport that already has all the Comm frequencies anyway, will the ones I enter always be used in PF3? In other words, does the data in the user_facilities.dat file always override whatever is in the PF3_FS9_Freq.dat file? (It's not just to fill in missing frequencies?). I'd also ideally need to check centre frequencies en route, but I think that is going to get way too complicated! |

In which case I got it wrong and it uses the last entry... I didn't check and my grey matter let me down again! |

User entries override the defaults. However, it's not quite as easy as that, because PF3 will also scan all frequencies for a flight and handle any duplicates it may find, which believe it or not seems to occur quiet FREQuently so you can never be 1oo% sure what you enter is what you get. |

Oh, I see. Well, I will try the user frequencies and see how it goes, otherwise I'll backup the files I have and then delete all but one XP11 entry in the freq dat file. Only problem is I am not sure how X=Plane deals with the same thing - that is, how it selects a COM frequency when there is more than one for the same facility. Thanks! |
