I don't know about RC, but to get it to work in FS2004 I edited the afcad ATIS entry (properties).It presently says Hong Kong in the Name box - I changed it to read VHHX - and it now works for me.EDIT added: I also posted this "fix" in the Tips and Tricks forum along with a screenshot.Hope that helps.

VHHX is not in RC's fixed frequency table. VHHH is. Unless you need both airports you can probably use RC's autotune option for comms operation and change the entry in that table to see if it works. I don't know what frequency is needed so here's what can be done to change the VHHH entry to VHHX:Go to the RC4\data folder in Explorer. Make a safe copy of f4.csv using copy/paste when highlighting the file. It should automatically be named "Copy Of f4.csv". Rename that to f4.xxx. That file can be renamed back to f4.csv if it gets messed up during the following steps.Right click on f4.csv and open with wordpad. Do not use Excel or other spreadsheet program. Search for VHHH. The current line reads:"VHHH,Hong Kong Intl,128.2,129.9,122.55,118.7,0,0,120.6,124.05"Drag the mouse over the last H in VHHH and replace it with X so it becomes VHHX. Be sure no extra characters are added or lost. Save the file as type TEXT and keep the name f4.csv.To keep both airports you can follow nearly the same procedure. Highlight the whole VHHH line and copy it. Place you cursor at the beginning of the next line starting with VIAG and hit the Enter button to create a new line. Paste it and modify VHHH to VHHX as before. There is no audio for hong kong or kai tak pronunciation in RC. Save the file as text type keeping the current name f4.csv.RC generates its own ATIS so it doesn't need the original ATIS frequency I believe and if the option is selected in RC it will tune your COM1 from the menu items.
