vatsim-data.json seems to miss some(?) controller infos/ATISes

[Jonas Eberle]

I noticed that recently QuteScoop showed way less controller infos than what I am used to.

I verified yesterday that EGLL_ATIS did not have "text_atis" in the JSON but I was able to request it with my xPilot sim client.

 

I would think most of these stations should have a controller info set in their controller client:

Any changes in the network that might explain that? It seems to be about many clients, but not all.
