Loss of ATIS while connected to x-pilot

[Michael Raymond]

Don't know if this is new or just need to re-install something.  While flying connected to the x-pilot network I don't seem to be able to get ATIS.  I've double-checked the frequency and have waited to get close enough to the appropriate airport.  I disconnect from x-pilot and then it comes right through.  Maybe it's a setting i've inadvertently changed?  Any ideas or guidance appreciated.

If you mean the default in-game ATC ATIS, that is intentional.  xPilot stifles the in-game ATIS so that it doesn't step on the ATIS provided by the actual VATSIM controllers where you are flying.

It also happens from time to time where an ATIS in one part of an ARTCC conflicts with the Center frequency VATSIM uses for that ARTCC -- because in the real world, that sector is from somewhere else in the facility, but on VATSIM that frequency covers the WHOLE facility.  Example: the ATIS frequency of Grand Canyon Airport (KCGN) is 124.3.  In the real world, that's fine, because the sector of Los Angeles Center which uses 124.3 is all the way down in southern Cali.  But on VATSIM, ZLA quite often uses 124.3 to cover ALL of the ARTCC, including the area near KGCN.  The in-game ATIS thus renders VATSIM completely unusable in that area.

I have a problem at the airport after the period with watsim by xpilot, I have two-way activities with controllers, but I cannot hear ATIS. Please help with some settings.
