Does anyone know how to locate the ILS and VOR beacon frequenceis in FS2002? I need them! Shocked

I ahev tried getting at them via the map, but it just says the name and type, e.g. Bournemouth ???

???

Eh?

If you click on a VOR in map view it opens up a screnn that gives you the frq

Also, if you click on the airport in map or flight planner view it gives you all the information you could want - including the rwys, lengths, surface types and ILS frqs that apply.

Go back to the map Jake and zoom in. When you get up close to the airport, you should be able to see the airport and any surrounding VORs separately.

Then click on them. In the case of the airport itself, it brings up a table with all sorts of info including the ILS frequencies, true runway directions, elevation etc.

But then when i click that it just brings up the name and the ICAO code! Help

I Like Flight Simulation!

If you go to map view it should show you the available VOR beacons. Make sure you have this effect enabled. They are blue hexagons. If you click on a blue hexagon that's at an airport it will give you the option of getting the VOR info or the airport info.

If you still can't get it get scanbgls. You may have a corrupt file.

I don't know which bgl it is but if you have AFCAD 1.4 you'll find "Scan BGL files for problems" under the file menu. Just run it and see if you get a clean bill of health first.

If you do have a corrupt bgl, it should be easy enough to find it on the FS2002 CDs once it's known which one is corrupt.

It's the same program - it's just integrated into AFCAD 1.4.

Was it EGHH you were clicking?
