I only fly in europe!! Never ever have made a flight in usa.
I just checked: I have duplicates, too, one even at an airport I use (EHAM), so that should not cause problems.

How can i remove it?
It's a .DAT file.
(I've not much of that computer knowledge ;) )
Even with the extension .dat it is just a text file (or a CSV file, depends on your view of the world), but as I wrote above: Duplicates don't seem to be a problem.

Hmm ... can you open PF3_FSX_Freq.dat in a text editor (you could copy it to a new name "foo.txt" first if you want) and check if it contains the following line:
Code: Select all
OMDB,1,131.70,"OMDB"
And can you confirm that you renamed (or removed) user_facilities.dat (and did not add new things, just to make sure)?

You could try the usual voodoo:
- download and install fresh makerwys, rebuild the database, ...
If that does not work:
- deactivate the PF3 license (don't forget this step!), uninstall, install, activate again. Then rebuild the DB again.

Hi TomasAH,

Have installed latest version of make runways v46992.
Did a reinstall (with update) pf3.
No suc6. With latest update i see now N/A.

Tried with RC4 and it gave me the ATIS freq.

Is there 1 more attempt i can try before given up?

I would like it to work, because i like the program.
But don't want to use the spare time i have on solving things anymore!

Best regards John

Besides ATIS at the airport in question are you getting the other relevant frequencies? Have you checked the afcad file? Does that have the ATIS frequency? If not try adding it to the afcad file and then running makerwys after you have updated the afcad in the sim. There's no reason why it shouldn't turn up in PF3 then. If it still hasn't then Dave will know.

LEBL in your ATIS file is 118.65, is this the frequency you are using?

Oh, I think I just found the problem:
Your PF3.ini contains: UsePFEAtis=0
It should probably be: UsePFEAtis=1

(I can't verify right now)

So as Thomas has pointed out, be sure the box "Use PF3 ATIS" is ticked (Options #1 screen, to the right of the ATIS volume slider).
