How to preset radio channels in ME?

[LeCuvier]

About setting the radio channel frequencies, the Early Access Guide states: "Preset frequencies are set in the Mission Editor". I have searched for that option in ME, but with no luck. Can somebody please tell me how to do this?

In ME select the player/client aircraft. Select the right-most tab in the aircraft's parameters panel then enter the desired freq for each of the 20 channels.

If you wish to use a standard set of frequencies you can do the above action once, then copy them from the mission .miz file. Search for "channels".

Funny I didn't see that, thanks!

I found that 19 Caucasus airbases are covered by the default channel frequencies. Only needed to modify 2 COMM 2 to cover the two remaining airports.

I collected runways, frequencies and channels (COMM, VOR, TACA, ILS) in the attached Excel file.

Now I understand why I hadn't seen the button with the antenna icon on it: I had not set my Hornet's pilot skill level to "Player". So at that point in time my plane was AI-piloted and presetting radio channels made no sense.
