Update v1.0.5 for Balkans 4.33.1c1
-
In the patch 1.0.5 there is still messed up station+ils.dat file. For example Pula has no Tower UHF, only Victor. I guess this one from 9th July is correct:

When you look at aircraft with loaded Snake Eyes under wings from middle distance you can see opened petals but on the nearest LOD they are folded.

Pula airport (LDPL) in real world has no UHF tower frequency, so also in BMS Balkans. A lot of other airports has no UHF tower, that’s why you see them without one.

Ah, ok. Thanks neystratiou!

@Nikos! Pula Tower shouldn’t be on VHF 127.67? Right now it’s on 132.00.

No, as according to the Croatian AIP, the LDPL TWR frequency of 132.00 MHz is correct. The 127.67 MHz frequency seems to apply for the LDPL Approach ATC (PULA RADAR that is) though.

My friend,
I have state many times that my data for airports, civilian and military are from real world and are current.
As very nicely friend “johku” show REAL data, see below:
You and all the rest members should know and accept the fact that ONLY a few airports have also a UHF ATC (tower) frequency! So don’t bother to see as usual only a VHF tower frequency, no real problem. If the real pilots can use only a VHF tower frequency, why we in BMS can’t?
Nikos. -
Great stuff with these up-to-date stations. I can see now how much work you put in it already. I need to print your new charts then. Mine are outdated.
I totally agree with You Nikos and fully accept the fact you described and it’s not a problem at all to use VHF ATC frequencies. Realism in the first place. We’re here to simulate in the end.

i just installed the update….not getting a tower frequency from Palese when i hit SET TOWER in my DTC, it say’s 000.00,
in either…Powder Keg Or Under Siege. -
Tass, You haven’t read carefully my conversation with Nikos just two post above, have you?

Most of real Balkans ATC work on VHF frequencies and no UHF. So there will be similar in BMS Balkans. Click “Set tower” for instance on VHF Channel 15.

I don’t know if the DTC is set up correctly, but for sure you can manually contact Palese tower via VHF at 118.30.
So go to this folder of Balkans theater: …\Falcon BMS 4.33_U1\Data\Add-On Balkans\Docs, and take a look at the file “Balkans Navaids list.pdf”.
There, are all the needed nav. data for all airports inside Balkans theater, take a look below to see that Palese airport has no ATC (tower) UHF frequency.
Also at the same folder, the file “Balkans MAIP.pdf” are the nav. charts.

Of course you’ll have a 000.00 U.H.F. frequency for an airport which haven’t U.H.F.
But don’t forget to have a look at the frequency pick list in D.T.C., BY DEFAULT IT’S IN U.H.F.
Change in V.H.F. and you’ll have the right frequency. After that you can select SET TOWER,
and finally don’t forget to click SAVE and LOAD. Tha’s all ! -
Hello, Nikos
Just to say how I like your comments when you said : “If reals pilots can use only VHF tower frequency why we can’t use it”
and how you’re so patient. Always repeat the same things : the necessity to read the DOCS -
I saw the update downloaded and installed it and that was it. Did not read the post above.
That’s my bad

No worries, we are here to help each other ;).
Just go and use the already included documents as I said you, great help for your navigation into the theater.

I have… and it is now working :blowpar:
Thank You everyone for your advice

Good. Now enjoy Balkans…
