Due to FGCom | Due to the design of this legacy FGCom variant, you may only record an ATIS if the requested frequency is enlisted as recordable on the distant server's "phone book" for the airport. The one for <code>fgcom.flightgear.org</code> was compiled a while ago, based on the latest <code>apt.dat</code> at the time. It filtered the frequencies through the two following conditions: | ||
# it is of the "recorded" type (row code 50); | # it is of the "recorded" type (row code 50); | ||
# its name contains the uppercase string "ATIS". | # its name contains the uppercase string "ATIS". | ||
If you are relying on the old data provided by ATC-pie, in other words you have not downloaded new data or edited the frequencies yourself, check against the <code>.dat</code> file extracted in the <code>OUTPUT</code> directory on your side, as it should still be similar to the one on the server's side. One of the two conditions is probably not met, or the frequency missing. NB: The frequencies in the ATIS drop-down list of ATC-pie are matched against the condition (1), but not against the somewhat restrictive condition (2). | |||
In any case, consider switching to the newer FGCom-Mumble plug-in variant. It simulates radio waves, frequencies and ranges, which avoids the phone book problem all together. | |||
