Yes right. > > > Except as noted below, I cannot think of any reason why it would > be necessary or in any way desirable to defeat the ATIS function. > If there is a reason, please explain. The reason is that I would like to play ATIS trough the realtime-radio and not from FG. As I know the current multiplayer mode of FG is only a position repeater/broadcaster. But what with the other realistic things as weather and the time? I think it would be nice if someone can set the waether of the multiplayer-session and the time. Then he has also to generate the ATIS. And then it is a problem with the hard-coded ATIS from FG... Ok I am some steps in the future - sorry. > The only reason to defeat the /internal/ ATIS function would be > to replace it with a better ATIS function ... in which case you > would need to deal with many, many ATIS frequencies, not just > 118.85. My current VoIP-Implementation (=Asterisk) hast all north american radio frequencies as a conference room so there _are_ may ATIS frequencies and not just 118.85 :-) 118.85 is the frequency by default if I press the change button on COM1... so if I find a way to supress ATIS in FG I can play my "own" ATIS when conecting to 118.85. > Certainly we need a better ATIS function, but moving to /no/ > ATIS function would be a step in the wrong direction. No, I think you have misunderstand (perhaps my english is not good enough - sorry). ATIS in FG is ok - but not in multiplayer mode with realtime radio.
