KSHV Area and Messed up ATC

Featured Replies

I flew IFR today with real weather from KMLU to KSHV. The weirdness started when Monroe departure told me to contact Fort Worth Center. I manually tuned the frequency, and when I hit ~ it only had the option to tune Barksdale approach. So I hit 1 to tune Barksdale approach and 1 again to contact them, and then they told me to contact Fort Worth center. This time it showed the option to tune Fort Worth Center, so I hit that and contacted them. After contacting Fort Worth Center, I was once again told to contact Barksdale approach. I was starting to feel unwanted, so once again, I contact Barksdale approach and this time they didn't hand me off. The other weird thing is the frequencies are wrong. The approach and tower are on the same frequency. I have real and current charts for the area, but I've never flown there in real life. My charts show tower on 124.4, and approach on 118.6 and 119.9. FS9 has both tower and approach on 124.4.Also, my charts call it Shreveport approach and departure, not Barksdale, although Barksdale AFB and KSHV share the same class C airspace.Is there any way to fix this?
