Can you add an Air to Air frequency so that we can use it for practice are comms? It would be nice to have that realism of hearing others on the radio for safety and audial training.

I'm not certain what you're asking for. You want a frequency to talk to other pilots? You can always use 123.45 or any Unicom frequency. The frequencies are modeled realistically so you can dial up any frequency that someone else is on and hear them as long as they are within range and within line of sight.

Or even 122.75, the real air to air frequency.

All real world frequencies are modelled and useable on the network. You can tune and transmit/receive on the published practice area frequencies, as well as on the air to air (122.75) freq. Just as in real world, you will only hear other pilots if they are also on that frequency.

We went to great lengths to make the radio system as realistic as possible. You could theoretically find an out of range ATIS freq and use that to talk with another nearby pilot. It would work (although not the right way to do it).

Make CTAF announcements at non-towered fields (like the CAT-1 rating, First FLight, etc) using the published CTAF freqs. If you just want to coordinate with another pilot in the air, 122.75 is the best bet as suggested.

Regarding 123.45, it's set up as a full-duplex channel, partially for tech support engagements, and also to simulate pilots being able to speak with eachother in an FBO before heading out to their airplanes to fly. It allows you to hear transmissions while you're transmitting, something that doesn't happen on the other freqs.
