Hi Alex and thanks for all your work on Little Navmap!

I have a bunch of payware addon airports in Denmark. I bought them on a sale in the MS store, so unfortunately they are not picked up when I update the database. As an example EKNB has a unicom frequency in the sim of 119.400 (IIRC), but in Little Navmap it says that it has no radio frequencies.

Is there a way I can add this manually to the database or some work-around?

The stock airport EKNB has no frequency.

Did you reload the LNM scenery library after adding the airports?
Are these add-ons encrypted? Do you get a warning message mentioning the airport files after loading the scenery library?
See here about this DRM: https://albar965.github.io/littlenavmap-faq.html#no-airport-msfs

What does the section "Data Source" in the tabs "Airport" -> "Overview" in the LNM information window say (simply copy and paste the section into the forum here, screenshot not needed)?

Hi. thanks for the quick reply.

When I load up at EKNB I can tune to a traffic frequency.

Yes, I reloaded the library after buying the airport at the MS store. They are probably encrypted.  For EKNB there is a file called: mwbeqhqy.fsarchive

The data source section says:

Generic Airports
C:\Users\mail\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.FlightSimulator_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Official\OneStore\fs-base-genericairports\scenery\0601\APX50120.bgl
 

Thanks for the information. The ".fsarchive" file is a clear indicator for an encrypted airport and you'll see the stock airport from APX50120.bgl in LNM.
Sorry, nothing I can do about this so far.

Yeah, I thought so... another reason to buy straight from devs 😉

I got tempted at the recent sale.

Can I add a frequency myself to the database for EKNB?

That's what I recommend.

Doable but not so easy.

You can add it to the LNM database if you know relational databases and SQL. But this is a script that has to run after loading the scenery library.
You can also create an airport add-on (BGL and JSON files) using the MSFS development tools which contains only the frequencies and adds the missing ones on top of the add-on. Also a bigger task.

Thanks for the explanation… that sounds a bit too complex for me.

I’ll just enjoy the moments of silence at those airports 😁
