Is there any method, within MSFS, during a flight, to look up frequencies that are in actual use in MSFS?  I continue to encounter instances where published real world frequencies are not in use in MSFS.  Case in point is the ATIS/AWOS at KHUF, Terre Haute, Indiana.  The FAA published frequency is 127.50.  That frequency is not working in MSFS.  That is just one example. I am encountering others.  Rather than simply press "B", I routinely monitor ATIS frequencies along my route and change my altimeter setting like I would if flying. 

I am so much done with updating my altimeter setting along my routes with MSFS ATC.  I was up on about 18 hours of actual ride along flights this past year, helping monitor ATC, and only occasionally on our frequencies hear inquire of any pilot in regard to altitude. And those were only requests to confirm altitude.  Over all my years I do not recall many expedite communications. In the image below you can count seven MSFS ATC "expedite" directives.  Those all occurred in less than one minute. 

So again, is there during a flight any method within MSFS to determine ATIS/AWOS frequency MSFS is using for an airport.  Looking a freq on Navigraph charts, FltPlan Go app or using Skyvector, etc. is of no use if MSFS is not using the current published frequency.

I'm not sure of a way to "read" MSFS freqs.  As far as ATC in the sim.....  I'd skip it as it's completely worthless.  I'd even say it's a step down from what we had in FSX.

I use Little Navmap for this.  It displays the MSFS frequencies as they existed when you loaded the scenery library into LNM.  You have to keep it updated as you add community stuff.

Edit:  I use this for nav freqs.  Now, I'm not sure the com freqs also display. Worth a check.

Edit2: I stand corrected.  Just checked KHUF on LNM and it does show 127.50.  So LNM does not copy com freqs from MSFS after all.  Sorry!

Open the ATC window, select 'Nearest Airport List', and select the airport for which you want the weather.  All of the available ATC services for that airport will be listed... including ATIS/ASOS/AWOS and their frequencies.  Note the frequency and then tune it manually or click on it in the window to auto-tune.  I find that the MSFS frequencies are true to their real-world counterpart about 80 - 90% of the time.

I believe that is the solution I am seeking.  Will certainly check it out!  And thank you for understanding the question!
