If I want to plan out a flight, I like to list all the pertinant frequencies I will need on a flight plan on my kneeboard. Is there a way to get all these in advance of a flight. Being a real pilot, I have all the charts and AFD to get these in real life, but the frequencies in FS9 don't seem to match real life charts. For example, what is the ATIS and Tower freq for KPHL?Also, if I use Vatsim, what frequencies are used there? Real life or FS9?Oh, to further clarify, I'm using the Saitek radio box to tune them in. That's why I don't just hit the ` symbol for a list of freq options.

One way I can think of would be open the airports in Afcad221 where you can list the frequencies for the airports.This won't help with enroute VORs etc.I just use the map function or the built-in flight planer. BTW, did you know that you can print out flight plans created in FS9? I do that to have a paper version for in-flight reference without having to stop/pause the sim.regards,Joe

This is a fine site to find the info you are seeking -http://www.airnav.com/

I don't run into too many different frequencies from FS9 versus real life charts, but when I do, I mark the change to be made and when done with my flight open the AFCAD and make adjustments. That way, any further flights are correct. Same for NAVAIDs, although that has only been a couple times.I don't fly on Vatsim, however, I would imagine, just as in real life, ATC will give you the frequency you are supposed to switch off to each time a hand-off occurs. The only time you wouldn't be given a frequency is when it's a NAVAID or ILS. That would be dependent on your sim version.

I know it's a radical (perhaps heretical?) suggestion......but, why not simply pop open the default GPS and ask it?It takes all of perhaps ten seconds to find KPHL, and look through the list of frequencies in use there... :(

From some of the responses, it sounds like it does use the same frequencies. Maybe I just haven't been flying to enough airports to realize.And to the suggestion of querying the gps...I'm trying to make my flying as lifelike as possible, where I will only use charts and hand notes.

I usually just get them from the GPS.I forgot that you can print the flight plans. What information do you get when you print? Does it give you frequencies, particularly ILS frequencies?

Never tried printing a flight plan. I usually fly VFR anyway.Well I took a flight tonight and I did realize the frequencies do match between FS9 and real life charts. Not sure what I was thinking, but thanks for the responses.

Just had a look at a quick flight plan, doesn't give frequencies.

The only frequencies that a flight plan gives are the VOR frequencies. ATIS, Tower, Ground and other local airport frequencies can be found on airport diagrams and charts. Navaid frequencies

You don't have to use the GPS while flying...Simply use it as if it were any other tool (such as Google or Bing) to look up information while planning your flight... :(

I seem to remember that Navigraph has this information. You do have to pay for it and you probably would need to be a comfortable with MS Access but I'm pretty sure you can buy it. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong...Mark

Yep . . Navigraph is a great resource. You have access to many hundereds, possibly thousands of RW charts. Why do you need MS Access though? I also use FSNavigator which has reveals all the frequencies etc you'll need. It isn't available anymore but I believe FS Commander is a comparable product.

I can get tunnel vision sometimes because I'm a software engineer by trade. So when I did look at some Navigraph products awhile back, I noted that there were Access databases available which housed entire GPS data sets. So if one desired, you could write your own GPS or anything navigation related.Mark

You can right click on the Navaid of your choice in the world/map view and it will list the freq's among other data. If you highlight the data you want with the mouse CTRL-C will copy it to the clipboard. Then you can paste it into a word processor doc and save it. If you save it as an HTML file with the same name as the saved flight you are flying, the saved file will display in the kneeboard (F10) on the "Flight Briefing" page.
