I'm so spoiled flying heavies where the FMC provides you the ILS frequency. So what do most folks do for the JS41? Do you print out charts for each airport you fly into? There's the FSX map option, but you have to pause the sim to use that. Any other ideas?Curt

Curt,I fly in windowed mode so it's a bit easier for me, but what I do is just open up the airport page using wherever I find the charts (As I fly in the US I normally use airnav.com). Then whenever I get closer and decide on a runway, I open up the chart I need.Might not be the easiest for some people, but it works great for me and I don't use any paper. As I tend to fly into a lot of the same airports, I've started to memorize the frequencies and courses for the ILS's I use most, and I don't even need to do the above much.

I use FS COmmander. Couldn't do without it. For planning, frequencies, ideas where to fly to. It's fantastic. http://www.fscommander.com/

Yep, I print the airport and approach maps then before take off verify with MSFS map as some differences do occur with frequencies.I generally just google the ICAO code, ie "KJFK charts" and find most of the larger destinations.Michael Haines

I admit it can get a bit costly but if budget permits I would buy the terminal procedures and charts from my local pilot shop. I say that tongue in cheek because at $20.00 an area it can add up quick. However I have purchased ten or so for my most favorite areas. For the airports I do not have charts or terminal procedures for I usually find somewhere on the net to download from. Vatsim has a pretty good resource for charts and many FIR

Shift + 1 and open up the Default GPS.Click the NRST button, choose any airport on the list. Change the ICAO to the applicable ICAO. Navigate to the frequencies page. There's your ILS frequency without leaving the sim.Sam Allen

Most payware addons do not have the default GPS built-in; so use one of the methods described above.

Ofcourse, but considering this topic doesn't apply to 'most payware addons' and specifically the J41, I thought it worth mentioning as a possible alternative to the other methods mentioned.

I can't count the times ATC has vectored me to a non-existant runway, I wouldn't put much faith in those frequencies being right. At least places like Navigraph keep their charts current.
