Ok sorted it now but.

 

 

If i want to change the ATIS i have to keep disconnecting for it to change which is really annoying

 

Anyone know a way round this

 

Cheers Damien

Yes, just do it without the disconnect

 

It is not necessary, just close the dialog

Is there not any other way where the information just updates itself like VRC ?

Damien,

 

You even do not have to close the connect dialog. Whenever there is a request for the ATIS EuroScope looks for the data in the dialog box controls and sends it back. And surely you can use any kind aliases, functions that can extract data about the weather, home airport, etc.

 

Also be prepared for the next release really soon. There will be more automatic features and more aliases to provide the piece of ATIS you need.

Ok Guys

 

This is my ATIS lines

 

Line 1 : Doncaster Robin Hood Tower

Line 2 : $radioname() Information %id%: Winds $wind(%icao%) Vis %vis% Sky %clouds% Alt $altim(%icao%)

Line 3 : Landing and departing runway 20

 

and my ATIS says that line 2 is hidden when i click on servinfo and Vroute

 

What am i doing wrong ?

Damien,

 

There are no aliases like %id%, %icao%, %vis%. Please check the http://www.euroscope.hu/wiki/index.php?page=Working_with_keyboard page for a complete list of the available functions and aliases.

 

I will check the servinfo and VRoute ATIS content.

Hi all, anyone can tell me why the information i wrote in the text atis textbox is not displayed to the others ATC on request?

Also, $metar(XXXX) is not working. What i am doing wrong? do we have an autorefresh system, as in VRC?

 

Many thanks

You did connect the ATIS? You loaded the metar before you attempted to use it in the ATIS?

 

There is no autorefresh system like in VRC. In the upcoming release you will be able to use external generators which allow you to fully automate the whole ATIS generation process including voice ATIS. In v2.9a you still have to do that on your own.

I think Philip is talking about the "text ATIS" (i.e. Controller Information).

 

I must say I really don't see the need to put weather info in the Controller Information anymore, as voice ATIS works much better. The only situation where I can see a need for it is when covering several airports and you want some basic info for more than one airport.

Philip,

 

What do you notice? What do the others see as your text ATIS?

Thanks for your posts, and great work Gergely. Well, just the voice channel info is broadcasted to the players Gergely(hidden in vroute for example), the rest of the text written in the atis main textbox is not displayed. So i can't write in the atis textbox#1?(main) I just want to have text atis information and runway info, autorefreshed. Many times, you do not have time to write too many things.
