Default Changing ADF frequencies in 0.5 increments

Trying to set 349.5 ADF frequency but unable to get the last 0.5 This
is an issue mention my a previous poster a couple of years ago but no
solution was offerd.

In a PCPilot magazine, an author of a tutorial mentioned that "when
you set up a flight simulator such as fs2002 its wise to opt for the
half frequency option" But doesn't mention how this is done. (neither
does the help menu offer anything.)

If I remember correctly it's in one of the options or aircraft menu - try
the option first. My FS system isn't up right now.

The option menu (when flying) only gives me
(general/display/international/ATC) which are no different to the
settings options in startup menu. Can't see anything which refers to
instruments or frequencies.

??do you have extra options (using fs2002 pro)

I can't find it now! Did you check under Aircraft menu. I don't have a
system that runs FS2002 Pro anymore - Windows decided to die on that one so
I haven't reinstalled it yet. I couldn't find it on FS2004 either.

Options that I can call up while flying dont mention anything to do
with frequencies.

Aircraft menu
Select aircraft (tries cesna172 with IFS panel - no change)
Kneeboard
Navigation (EFIS optio not change anything)
Fuel
Realism settings (nothing here either)
System failures (nothing setup to fail)
Slew Mode (not realy apply)

Alex
I can select up to frequency 1699.0 on ADF at the moment

Hoping that I'm not going to have to try a reinstall.....
?was there an option at install asking what frequency we want setup?

No longer have Fs2002 Pro installed but if my ancient memory serves -
the 0.5 khz facility is brought up by extending the ADF coverage to
1700 khz. How this was done I cannot presently recall. I always
enabled it as I don't fly in the US. Someone else is sure to come up
with an answer...

Odd.

My original comment referred to Fs98...
Fs2000 had the Increments as a selectable Option on "Instruments".
A search of my Fs2002 documentation has nothing, suggesting it is
available automatically by the ADF receiver - as is currently done in
Fs2004.
Try changing your ADF to a different more recent gauge model - some of
the older ADF receiver gauges did have this specific problem.

Best

Well in the end I just reinstalled fs2002 and can now chnage the adf
in 0.5 increments. The radiostack panels are different so it appears
that the stack file must have been changed when I installed a new
plane.

Thanks for your suggestions

In FS98 the 0.5 ADF option was on the same menu page as the 0.025 COM freqeuncy
option, plus one or two other items.
I think it was under Options...Preferences but I'll check, next time I run it
and send another post later.

I expect to be running FS2002Pro on a new PC by next week, so I'll go looking
for options like this during the install and let you know what I find.
