Hello,

Today I had a flight to EBBR and was expecting the ils on the 25L.
As far as I know and based on my navigraph charts the freq. should be 110.35, but the ils was not alive on this freq.
I do not have any addon for EBBR, so just the basic FSX scenery.

Anyone knows maybe knows anything about this?

The system was:
FSX SP2, Wilco A321 evolution, AIRAC1208, default scenery

Hi, set yourself on EBBR RW25L and open the map to look which freq. is active for this rw.
cheers tom
 
Tibor,

take a look at this paragraph, which is taken from the EBBR briefing document of the Belgian VATSIM website:
Specific Brussels arrival procedures
Arriving traffic may use a STAR to reach the IAF. All STARs contain Speed Limit Point (SLP) where pilots have to reduce the aircraft’s speed below 250 kts (unless ATC approves high speed). After the IAF you will be vectored onto the final leg of the active runway. Be aware of differences between recent charts and some older sceneries: The frequency of ILS 25L has changed from 110.30 to 110.35.

Ok, it explains the isse. I should modify it on my charts.
It is getting hard to follow all the updates since the fsx has been released. Almost for all major airport we would need to install some new scenery to use it properly.
So, this is the reason why I just fly between 3-4 airports and not to spend 2 hours of searching, downloading, installing for a 1 hour flight :)

Thanks for the info Mathieu!
 
Most of the time when I fly to airports I've never been, I check out this site to see if there's any recently updated scenery available for it: http://www.freewarescenery.com/fsx.html
Even sometimes it's only afcad files, but at least then all frequencies and taxiways are up to date.

Another good resource for information is the VATSIM site of the airports country, which usually contains some useful information about the airports and available sceneries or afcad updates.

Or if a payware version is available, and it gets good reviews, and I intend to fly to this airport quite often, I might decide to invest some money...
 
What I do first, before I fly to any destination ist to check, if the fequencies are up to date. If not, I try to insall an actual afcad file (as writte in the threads before), or I modify the existing file with tools like the

AFCAD Editor, which comes for the fs9 and the FSX as well. After saving the AFCAD you simple have to restart your FSX and everything should be fine.....

Last weekend I flew to Salala (OOSA) without checking the frequencies. And the installed frequencies were wrong. It was an absolute tricky thing to land there without an ILS Support at night and with fog and rain....

So better check first or switch to the alternate....
 
It is all fine and usually I do the same. Just sometimes I am in the mood and just quickly want to fly away to a random destination, but it is not really possible, especially online :)
If we are talking about these changes I also quite often facing the problem of various SID/STAR/TRANSITION. Many times three database gives three different procedures: navigraph chart, airac and controller. On a new destination if I fly online I try to prepare from the charts, but when I will arrive to the TMA the ATV gives something which is not on the charts and even not in the FMC. In lucky case I can add the procedure point by point, but in most cases we do not have time for this, especially when the ATC gives the procedure just 5nm before of our last flightplan point.
Yes I know, I should check the website of the related VACC, but I do not want to collect one single information from various sites, and this would be the purpose of the updated navigraph chart.
Of course there is no solution and I am not complaining, just telling my observation :)

And one more thing with the ATC as I mentioned it already. Many of the controller tends to give the instructions for the approaches, transitions quite late. I am 5nm inbound my last route point and still do not know if I should fly a heading or a procedure. If procedure I still need to find it in FMC (if I have it). It happened I was announcing to ATC I am entering to the published holding over the last route point as do not have any further instruction and the ATC was quite surprised what and why am I doing...
So dear controllers, please respect our big birds and also the fact our life is harder than a real pilots work as we usually do alone the job of two :)

Happy landings guys, I will be on vacation for the next two weeks, so see you on the sky afterwards.
