Struggling With ATIS Channel Setup

[Rob Killins 897126]

I respect this question has been answered in the past, however, I have been finding it difficult to follow the solutions here, and in the Wiki docomeentation.

 

How do I get my voice ATIS channel recognized? I keep getting "ATIS voice channel must match ATIS callsign."

 

I am connected to VATSIM as CYWG_TWR

I have my primary frequency setup and functioning ... CYWG_TWR

My connection settings for my ATIS are ...

 

Winnipeg ATIS

120.200

rw.server.ca

CYWG_ATIS

 

I trust someone is able to provide some help.

The channel name needs to be CYWG_ATIS not Winnipeg ATIS.

 

Hope this helps.

[Todor Atanasov 878664]

As Luke, pointed out, your ATIS name must be the same as the voice channel you have set for it.

 

CYWG_ATIS

120.200

rw.server.ca

CYWG_ATIS

Thank you guys ... tried that, but still no success.

 

 

Augh!

I've had this issue in the past as well, but cannot recall exactly how I fixed it...

 

option 1: Delete the information, shut down ES, restart ES, add the info back in.

 

Option 2: All of option 1, except input all information using all CAPS

 

Like I said, I can't recall exactly how I fixed mine, but I did fix it.

 

Good luck!

Thanks JV ...

 

Tried both options, and sadly, no luck.

 

Thanks for your suggestions.

Well I have to ask, when you selected the Atis check box, you have already connected the Atis to VATSIM, via the Atis dialog box, right? Because if you haven't you will get that message. The sequence of turning the ATIS is this:

1. Connect to Vatsim at ATC position

2. Connect the ATIS to VATSIM via the dialog box

3. Select the Freq from the Voice Settup Dialog box

[Rob Killins 897126]

Thank you Todor for the step by step. I may be out of sequence which could be the problem. I won't know until I return home to try it out.

 

To clarify, step 2 ...

2. Connect the ATIS to VATSIM via the dialog box

 

Which dialogue box are you referring ... in the ATIS setup box?

Yes!

First here, "Connect ATIS"

 

Then here chose the "Atis" box to activate it

Rob, just to caveat on this, once you have the data for your atis (name, frequency, server) in your Voice Communication Setup, don't do anything else here....go to "Voice ATIS setup" plug the Airport ICAO and click on connect....that should do it...

I think I had that problem until the information was added to the ESE file but I could be mistaken.

 

If you still have the problem let me know as I have the sector and ESE files and I can try it.
