I am currently engaged in trying to solve an annoying problem (bug) with the ATIS/real-weather-fetch code.
I find that if I have a comm radio tuned to an ATIS frequency in .fgfsrc, fgfs will start up with a default (erroneous) weather report. This can only be resolved by switching the comm radio to another frequency and back again, at which point the atis annunciator will speak truth. I am certain that RW radios do not behave like this. From my own point of view, I would love fgfs to start up with all radios turned OFF, until explicitly turned on. I can find no property to enable this functionality, even if the radio is switched off via the hot-spot control (or even disabled in preferences.xml). In essence, I don't want radios booming out rubbish weather reports even if there is no electric power switched on in the aircraft. I would welcome any suggestions to enable a proper control over radios. Looking initially at the atis.cxx, ATCmgr.cxx, etc code I notice a bunch of commented-out "cout" statements, which give me a good idea of where to look for solutions. I wonder if there is a case for introducing a -v (--verbose) option for turning all occurences these statements ON via an IFDEF condition. Suggestions on where to introduce such a condition welcome. I would be willing to undertake the "grunt" work. Long live find/grep/sed.
