NDB Default Frequency
NDB Default Frequency
Hi, I notice the DME default frequency is 1400 on both the 182 and the Cherokee, which means a lot of manual knob turning on my Saitek panel to get to 400 or 300! Is there anyway to modify the cfg to change its default starting frequency??

Re: NDB Default Frequency
As far as I can recall* Mithras, the active ADF frequency will be whatever's stored in the flight file which you load. In other wordsâ€â€unlike the NAV and COMM frequenciesâ€â€it's not one of the persistent avionics variables saved by A2A in their custom "*Log.dat.f" file. However, the standby ADF frequency is a custom A2A variable if I recall correctly. (By default, FSX/P3D doesn't allow for a standby ADF mode.)
Therefore, to save an active ADF frequency other than 1400, you'll probably need to resave the flight. Alternatively, you could edit the relevant *.FLT/*.fxml file depending on whether you use FSX or P3D.
Cheers,

Re: NDB Default Frequency
Thanks for the advice. I tried saving the flight in cold and dark, but 1400 still keeps popping up. I'll have a look for this .flt file...

Re: NDB Default Frequency
If you're using FSX, the *FLT files are saved in the "Flight Simulator X Files" directory in "My Documents". They can be opened with a standard text editor, and the line in question to change would be "ADFActive=1400" in the "[Avionics.0]" section.
