October 9, 200718 yr A little clarification please:>I wanted to choose the flightplan in FS (9.1 updated). It was>unable to choose this flightplan.The flightplan had a difficulty in being created in FS9? Please zip it up and attach it.>Then I started RC as usual, the flightplan was loaded, but on>the Controller Info page, no frequencies for Vagar airport was>shown?I think RC will fill in comm frequencies when not present. ILS information is derived from the scenery. Provide a link to this scenery and we can download the airport and look at it.The default EKVG shows 13/31 with localizer/DME approach aids which show up in the runway data base. EKVG only has an FSS frequency and therefore no tower frequencies are listed for comm. You can add those and save them using the controller page.As far as the approaches I suspect a scenery problem is causing the the lack of approach data. Point us to the airport scenery and any afcad you are using and we'll go from there.>Anyone with the same problem, or (better) with the solution?>>My spec:>AMD Athlon X2 4600+>2x 1GB A-Data 800 Mhz RAM>Asus nVidia 6600 silenced>Win XP SP2>FS2004 9.1>RC 4.3
October 10, 200718 yr I installed the airport scenery but not the mesh (which has other AFCADS). I created the route in routefinder, located rfindpln but could not read the instructions in Czechoslovakian on how to run it but I pasted the ICAO format plan into the route window of FS Build payware and created an FS9 plan from that. Be sure when running rfindpln you check FS2004 for your output type.I rebuilt the scenery in RC. I also checked the afcad file for the scenery and found out a tower frequency was added of 122.1. My documentation based on 2003 real world data only shows AFIS 124.85 which I believe is not a tower but advisory only. That is why is is not in the RC4 frequency tables as it seems a tower did not exist at that time.I loaded the plan I created into RC. I opened the Controller page and looked down the destination column. Here is what you can do to add a tower and ground frequency to the airport in RC for this flight only. To the left of the current tower frequency which is now "0" is a box you can click on to add a check mark. Once you do that the frequency becomes available for editing and you can enter 12210 in that box. You also can add 12485 in the Unicom frequency box to perhaps enable weather options. When you click OK that information will be used for this flight. I did not do a complete flight, just enough to start RC. On quitting RC it did not save those frequencies so you will have to check the tower frequency box each time you go there. The scenery rebuild does not do anything with communication frequencies.I'll look at your rfindpln export to an FS2004 format when you post it as a zipped attachment here, or give me some instructions in English here. Apparently this rfindpln is a workaround to avoid a subscription to routefinder which allows a feature to export the plan to FS2004 format. You may wish to think of subscribing to get this feature or consider a freeware or payware offline flightplan application.Version 5 of RC, more than a year away, will probably have a way to save more airport features including user modified communication attributes.Hope this helps sorting out the communication problems for now.
