I have been experimenting with generating custom, realistic, and more useful ATIS message on FGCOM using Festival with great success. The only problem is that when tuning to the ATIS frequency you get the FlightGear default ATIS as well, which is not very useful. So one last request to do with ATI

Ok, so I went ahead and did a build of the latest and greatest...looks (and sounds) really good. I love when when features are implemented faster than I can ask for them! ;) A couple observations: 1. Cannot adjust volume of atis(comm radios) from sound config dialog. Not a "major" issue I guess s

Since the sound system is undergoing major development, I guess now would be a good time to mention some things that I think need addressing... First, we really need better control of sound levels and balancing between different sound sources. It is often impossible to hear ATIS over the aircraft
