Johnathan Guif Posted July 29, 2021 at 03:24 AM Posted July 29, 2021 at 03:24 AM Hi, I have been having issues with the Atis in V-pilot. when Atis is online for the airport I am at and I tune it, I don't hear anything. Atis wont start relaying the information at the airport. I have tried re-installing v-pilot several times with no success. If anyone can share some information on how to fix this and get the atis to start working again, that would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexandra Robison Posted July 29, 2021 at 04:56 AM Posted July 29, 2021 at 04:56 AM Voice ATISes have not been the most reliable lately. If you double click on the ATIS in your pilot client, you will get the text version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnathan Guif Posted July 29, 2021 at 07:30 PM Author Posted July 29, 2021 at 07:30 PM Thank you! I've had a couple of issues with it lately and I really appreciate the advice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Eamer Posted August 25, 2021 at 01:37 AM Posted August 25, 2021 at 01:37 AM You're not the only one, it's particularly frustrating when you cannot get the ATIS (most of the time) and approach comes on and assigns a downwind runway when you at least expect to get something heading into the wind. It only gets worse when he gives you a new star after you've initiated on the one Simbrief assigned. It happened to me today. ATC should try and coordinate with Simbrief or at least not surprise you with a downwind approach until Vatsim have resolved their ATIS problem.

Robert Shearman Jr Posted August 25, 2021 at 02:27 AM Posted August 25, 2021 at 02:27 AM There are many, many reasons why the directional flow at an airport on VATSIM might not match the directional flow in use at the same airport's real-world counterpart. Depending on levels of controller staffing and levels of air traffic, it can be either WAY easier or WAY harder to switch an airport's operating direction mid-flow on VATSIM than in the real world. The wind is far from the only consideration. If the VATSIM ATIS isn't working by voice, it's almost always working by text. Cheers, -R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Wong Posted August 27, 2021 at 06:40 AM Posted August 27, 2021 at 06:40 AM Like real life many pilots don't listen the ATIS anymore. Reading it either directly from ACARS or printing it out is much faster. Do you want your Virtual Airline to become an official partner on VATSIM or to participate in the VAA Program?

Justin Shannon Posted August 27, 2021 at 01:20 PM Posted August 27, 2021 at 01:20 PM (edited) A patch was applied to the AFV voice server yesterday that should have addressed the voice ATIS issues. Unfortunately, the patch didn't fix the voice ATIS issues.
