Radio frequencies

[sk0941]

I've noticed a few times now while flying on Vatsim that I'm unable to tune some frequencies using the radion in the cockpit, for example Copenhagen control uses 121.375 and since the radios in the F28 only has 2 decimals you can't tune that frequency.

Now that issue can be solved by tuning those frequencies using the pilot client, but just wondering if that's something that can be considered with along with the plans of a FMC?

@sk0941 As you click the decimal, you notice it clicks twice. You'll see it's only got two decimal places. So as it rolls onto the first one, i.e. 121.10, a further click doesn't make it move, but it's actually gone to 121.105.

@paulc The more you know, I'll check it on my next flight

Both the COM and ADF radios are much easier to tune with tooltips enabled. Unfortunately this is one of those areas which doesn't translate well from a real classic airliner to a desktop sim, e.g. needing to support 8.33KHz spacing with older radios and ADF radios needing to be tuned to exactly the NDB frequency to get reception.

@martyn like the challenge to tune the correct NDB frequency and check the reception level! Not easy yes, but that gives some charm to our F28
