Major ATC problem at TNCM.

Hello,
I am not sure if this is not really a problem since I really don't know anything about Princess Juliana that apart from the sim world but I noticed that Wallblake approach, TNCM ground and TNCM tower are all in the same frequency. So when I go to start a flight or go to land the radio just gets too cluttered and usually take about 5 minutes for me to be able to reply to the tower or recive clearance's from the tower, ground etc. I had to wait more than an hour for tower to have enough time to give me clearance to takeoff.

Is there any way of fixing this?

its not a issue, thats normal, maybe in real life they'l change it because they got more technology, but i dont know if anyone is intelegent to make a fix for that, and there is always VATSIM...althought i stick w. the UT

Have a look at your comms freq list for TQPF (Wallblake) using Afcad

It sould read: Freq Type Name

121.850 Ground Wallblake

118.500 Tower Wallblake

128.950 Arrival Juliana

128.950 Departure Juliana

Afcad is available at all FS download sites. Try Flightsim.com or Avsim.

developer must have erased it because all links I find are either not working anymore or out of date. Can't find it in avsim neither.

Maybe he means he can't open the airport database in AFCAD? I can't either, I have the current AFCAD version and can't open the airport database, it just hangs there until I get "This program does not respond..." message.

That happened to me once but I cannot remember why ..... I think it will be a corrupted afcad.

You will have to search for the this acfad...think of any sceneries you have recently installed and temporarily remove the afcad.
