How to know VOR, ILS ... frequencies of airports in FsX

[alanncjg]

I tried to flight IFR ... and i need to know the frequencies has FSX seems not tuning them on approach on ILS for example

I think I know what you're asking....for ILS frequencies, what I do is click on the map, then the airport in question. There, it gives me the frequencies as well as the heading for each runway. I usually do this after ATC gives me the runway to land on.

Hope this helps..

I also use the map during the flight. I will open up the map to find the ILS frequency for the airport after ATC has told me what runway to expect.

You can also access the map before the flight and write down the details of the navaids that you will use.

All good things mentioned above.

When I get enough money to do some real world flying - I will research everything about my destination airport, my alternate airports and make sure it is right where I can get it before I arrive.

I've learned to do the same thing in FS - long ago.

Pre-flight planning is a step that FS makes it easy for use to skip - and then we scramble around trying to find information when we are very busy with landing preparation.

Another very useful way is to use a tool like Airport Design Editor or the AFX free demo to bring up the airport information in an external window - so you can see what FS has setup for that airport.

thanks to all of you

i found effectively the info on the map either VOR or ILS ... thanks
you have to do it during the preflight ... then all in hands !!!!

cheers

Well, you can also find all that information without leaving the cockpit. Learn how to use the G500 GPS. The entire world's database is at your fingertips...

I do mostly bush flying using VOR's, I've found the best way to have any information ahead of time is to use Plan G.
The nice thing about it is that it was made for FSX.

I just did a trip using small taildraggers from Eugene, Oregon to Ketchikan, Alaska over a period of three days just using
the VOR's on Plan G.
I would rather have the information ahead of time than stop a flight to go to the map.

Some other good external sources for this info is websites like Skyvector.com or Flightaware.com. You can do airport searches and they have all the approach charts and airport diagrams. I also like to use the actual FAA website will have all the current charts at you disposal.

Create a flightplan. All the frequencies are on the Kneeboard. It's what it's for.
