• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Tuning

In FSX some airfields I fly to I can tune into the tower but others I can only tune into the traffic. I have just bought the Denham scenery from JustFlight and I is there a way I can change it so I can tune into the tower instead of traffic.
 
Not all airports have towers. If the frequencies you are talking about are at smaller airports and the frequencies are often 122.8, 122.9, 123.0 and a few others then these are called common traffic advisory frequencies and they are used at small airports that don't have a tower. At these airports the aircraft announce their intentions to any other aircraft that is listening so the others can be on the lookout for them and avoid a collision. You will often find situations where several small airports within an area use the same advisory frequencies. I have noticed that in FSX if your are within 60 nautical miles of any other aircraft or airport on the same frequency you are on then you will hear them on the radio. That is why you may hear traffic from several different small airports on the advisory frequencies.
