COM frequencies are the same everywhere? (uncontrolled airports)

I have a problem with ATC and wanted to ask if it’s the same everywhere, or just in my country (without any World update) - all the ATC frequencies of uncontrolled airports in the entire country are the same - 122.900. Apart from being quite immersion breaking (and making use of radio useless), it makes it really difficult to say anything to ATC, as all the AI aircraft from so many nearby airports constantly spam the frequency.

Also, is there any way to manually change frequency of a specific airport in the game files? I’d like to change it manually at least for the few airports I often use and know well.

Edit: I have a vague memory of this not being an issue before, is it possible the latest AIRAC somehow corrupted the frequency data?

It is called “Unicomm” and it’s normal…FYI at uncontrolled fields there is no ATC to talk to unless to tune your radio to another freq.

No it’s not. The data is wrong, real airports don’t use this frequency. Not in europe.
FYI I’m a real world pilot (small planes).

Almost every small airport has its own designated frequency. Do you know how many ultralight and light planes fly in the sky nowadays? If they all were to use the same frequency you wouldn’t be able to say anything to the com in the congested european airspace. You would be hearing pilots from different countries talking in different languages.
