Paddles,
I have read fsafranek's reply to your post and am not sure he is right. For info I have installed "Sludge" Snow's FA-18 IFLOLS and and the RFN Gauge into my default MS Cessna 172. I have also added the [Radios] section described in the USS Enterprise PDF.
As I understand it the active Enterprise frequencies have been changed from the values in the PDF to 110.50, 110.55, 110.60, 110.65 (without changing the PDF info (GRRRR!)). From what he says I think the active 80's carrier ILS frequency is now 110.55. The RFN TACAN value for the 80's Enterprise is 42X and 43X for the 90's version, as per the RFN manual.
I have tried the 110.55 frequency and flown out to the Enterprise with no result. However, when I tried both 111.00 and 112.00 on both the 80's and 90's Enterprise the IFLOLS works on all 4 combinations. The attachment shows NAV1 = 112. (I cannot remember whether 111 or 112 is the frequency for the MS carrier or Javier Fernadez's carriers, but both seem to work.)
Regards,
Tregarth

Tregarth,
Good try, but you're trying to combine incompatible things ;)
The Sludge FLOLS was developed specifically for the Sludge Hornet and it supports Acceleration and Javier's carriers only. By coincidence this gauge uses the same local variable 'GS error' as the RFN gauge does, that's why you can see its meatball working even if the gauge installed on other aircraft. Try removing the RFN gauge and you'll see the Sludge FLOLS stops working.
As for the Enterprise frequencies, they are defined in the RFN_carrier.xml file (the FSX Gauge folder). As Frank has already mentioned the latest version 4.2 has a lot of new ships and FCLP locations, that's why many frequencies were changed. As I can see your RFN gauge is set to NAV2 110.5 (X42). The NAV1 112 has no effect in this case and is just confusing. Refer to your Cessna's aircraft.cfg to make sure the [Radios] section defines Nav2 as active, as described in the RFN pdf.
Hope this helps
