Kai Tak METAR

I'm trying to post an ATIS for Kai Tak (VHHX) airport. However, since there isn't a METAR for the airport, vATIS won't let me put an ATIS up. Is there any way to clone the METAR from Hong Kong International (VHHH) to VHHX?

I don't think so, since the airport you will be searching for is VHHX. I don't know which ATC client you are using, but you may be able to manipulate the ATIS using Euroscope, but I am not sure about that.

I tried with Euroscope, but it wasn't liking it. I was thinking that somone from the software developmet team might be able to make changes on the back end when they get the time.

That is 99% not going to happen, because the airport is closed in real world. Just like a lot of other airports that are closed in real world doesn't get others metars as well.

Since Kai Tak is still a popular airport at VATSIM, it might be worth checking with the Development team of VATSIM if they could simply create a copy of the VHHH's METAR and insert it as "VHHX" into VATSIM's METAR stream.
