No, I'm afraid there isn't. The message is already assembled as
lookup terms for the ATIS sound DB, and looks something like this:
"This_is San-Francisco-International information alpha / Weather
one niner zero zero zero hours zulu / Temperature one five
degrees_Celsius / Visibility one zero miles / Cloudbase five
thousand feet / Altimeter two niner decimal niner two / Winds
two knots from two seven zero degrees / Landing_and_departing_runway
two eight / Advise_controller_on_initial_contact_you_have alpha ///"
... so it's not really suited for display. But not even that is
exported. You can easily add this to src/ATC/atis.cxx:
--- atis.cxx 21 Feb 2006 01:16:05 -0000 1.23
+++ atis.cxx 25 Oct 2007 10:14:25 -0000
@@ -71,6 +71,7 @@ void FGATIS::Update(double dt) {
// Check if we need to update the message
// - basically every hour and if the weather changes
significantly at the station
//globals->get_ATC_display()->ChangeRepeatingMessage(transmission);
+ fgSetString("/sim/messages/atis", transmission.c_str());
} else {
// We need to get and display the message
UpdateTransmission();
Then you could attach a listener to that property and map the
message to the screen (see $FG_ROOT/Nasal/screen.nas) or print
it to the console:
setlistener("/sim/messages/atis", func {
print("ATIS: ", cmdarg().getValue());
});

I find such disclaimers amusing. Completely detached from reality. :-}
(Yes, I know that you didn't add it.)
