LFR website for T-50 not accessible

The website which provides a list of LFR stations and their frequencies etc. ( http://smithplanet.com/fs2004/tools/rr/) has been no longer accessible in the last few weeks, making it not possible to navigate using the LFR navigational radio in the T-50. Is there any way this information can become abailable?

I thought maybe I was the only one who couldn't find the frequencies listed. There were far more LFR beacons than I had realized in 1948! :o

The Milviz website proudly advertizes the LFR system as a unique feature of this aircraft, and indeed it absolutely is, but without access to the frequencies the system is useless. I have also contacted the website which had previously supplied the page containing this information, but have received no reply.

Well, the author of the system was dependent on that site for the basic information, but he also included it in the "ranger.cfg" file located in the T50's base ..\panel folder.

I've reformatted a copy of that ranger.cfg file to both an .ods (spreadsheet) and .html version, arranged alphabetically by city. I hope this will be useful for your needs. :ugeek:

You can of course rearrange the data in the spreadsheet version to suit your own needs.
