Title: Edit / change of STAR files
Post by fowler on Dec 8th, 2022 at 12:29am
LSGG ILS 22 freq has changed from 109.9 to 108.7 is there any way to change the CS RW23 STAR's ? I know you can/should manually tune to the new freq. but still.

Go to P3D\Captain_Sim\navigation and open the runways.db file with Notepad. Press CTRL+F and search for LSGG. You should find the following:

LSGG;3.00;110.90;46.227842;12795;6.093956;04;046.0
LSGG;3.00;109.90;46.250361;12795;6.127006;22;226.0

Change the 109.90 to 108.70, the save (use CTRL+S , orĀ  click on File > Save (DO NOT CLICK ON Save As...))

MAKE A BACKUP OF THE Runways.db BEFORE YOU MAKE ANY CHANGES!


RED = Frequency
BLUE = Runway Number
ORANGE = Runway Heading

Be carefull not to remove the semi-colon separating each seqment of the data.

Note. These might be a tad different due to the fact that I'm using Cycle 2003 (27/FEB/2020 - 26/MAR/2020) that would have been installed when I installed one of the Captain Sim products for P3Dv4/5, and I don't know which one it would have been.

I seem to remember from the FSX version under the NAV/RAD menu you could enter a ILS freq, but not anymore with the P3D version. Manually tuning the ILS is not working also so I am stuck with changing the "config" file as you mentionned. Thanks very much for that.

That's not true, of course you can manually tune the ILS in the CS 757/767. It's done on the ILS tuning panel on the pedestal.

In FSX, I thought it was that once you reach a certain point, the ILS freq was entered into the ILS tuning panel, and you couldn't change it when it was done, but you could change it by entering it in the RAD section of the CDU.
I haven't flown the 767 in FSX for a long time, so I could be wrong. Plus I'm an old man now, so my memory isn't as good as it used to be. ;D

Alex, I meant you can't change the ILS freq in the FMS under the NAV/RAD menu like you could in FSX. I tried to manually tune with the VOR/LOC button in manual mode but the ILS was not showing. I think for the ILS to show you have to load a STAR with a runway and a transition when there is one so that the ILS will show correctly. If you jump the transition or don't care the procedure loaded is incomplete and chances are the ILS will not show. I wish there could be a simple manual tuning of the ILS but this has not been my experience sor far. Did you manage to manually tune an ILS ? What airport ?

In the real 767-200 and 767-300, you cannot tune the ILS using the FMS/CDU. Look at these pictures.
