March 5, 201214 yr I have been flying Flight now for a couple of days, I am a beginner to flight simulators, but have already started to grasp VOR's and ILS with the RV6A. It has been a fun experience so far!However, I'm thinking about the VHF in the Icon. When i select different airports around Hawaii, many of them are transmitting on frequenzies that i can set the VHF in the Icon for. VOR's and ILS does not work and is probably not needed because the Icon has a GPS screen..Now, to my question. The frequenzies i can use from the airports, are any of them transmitting anything?
March 5, 201214 yr Moderator At this time in Flight's evolution, no. Think of it as having been planned from the beginning to be expandable... Fr. Bill AOPA Member: 07141481 AARP Member: 3209010556 Avsim Board of Directors | Avsim Forums Moderator

There is no ATC or ATIS or whatever, so right now the radio's are useless. The navigation radio's however work.About the Icon: afaik it doesn't have anything else for navigation then the GPS, I guess. Which has zero options btw (apart from declutter).

March 5, 201214 yr Right now, there is no ATC, ATIS or anything else on the VHF frequencies. And the Icon doesn't have any NAV radios so it's purely a VFR aircraft. (At least the Flight version.)The only thing the VHF radios do for you is allow you to speak with other people in multiplayer. You can speak to everyone, or just people on the same frequency. That way, if you and a friend are in the same multiplayer game, you can pick a frequency and use the Live voice chat without speaking to everyone else. Other than that, they currently serve no purpose.WildBill
