I have set up the ATIS using the EGTT euroscope ATIS file. Then I insert EGPH and then show metar, all is fine. I have inputed the correct URL for the ATIS, and then I press the TEST URL button to which I get the following error

 

Error 1100: METAR (metar) field empty

 

Not sure how to fix this!

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

Can you post the ATIS URL?

Working fine for me. Can you double check your URL again and confirm that you did receive a metar before you hit the test button?

I tried EGTT this morning and I had the same result. I displayed the metar for EGTT using the F2 EGTT command. I received an answer from the servers that 'EGTT - no weather data'. It seems that no METAR is available for that airport at the moment. Unfortznately in this case your URL

http://uniatis.net/atis.php?arr=$arrrwy($atisairport)&dep=$deprwy($atisairport)

is converted to a really unusable one

http://uniatis.net/atis.php?arr=&dep=

and surely the UniATIS will not be able to do anything with these data.

I am sorry to say, that automatic voice ATIS only works if METAR is available for that airport.

No Gergely, EGTT is no airport. EGTT is the London area, and there is a combined EGTT sectorfile including the ATIS files Kris is refering to. The airport he tried is EGPH.

Ooops, sorry. But the result my be the same. If no metar data for an airport, you may receive this message.

That is because your link is not completed you need

http://uniatis.net/atis.php?arr=$arrrwy($atisairport)&dep=$deprwy($atisairport)&apptype=ILS&info=$atiscode&metar=$metar($atisairport)

to work, it is saying you are not having this metar=$metar($atisairport) - the actual metar

You should check if you have all the files available in your folder.

I also suggest checking that your AtisFiles.txt file is loaded properly. Because of the file moves, I had to re-load my AtisFiles.txt file. After that, all was OK!

yep all is sorted and it does the multiple recording fine. I can listen to it by ticking the listen to playback box and it sounds fine, but no pilots or other controllers, myself included, can hear it if we tune to the frequency?! Any ideas??

 

Thanks

You need to prepare the following things to ensure others can listen to your ATIS:

- Start the playback (simple or multiple)

- Connect the ATIS controller to the network

- Select the appropriate ATIS primary frequency in the voice communication panel

 

If all three are correct then you can see the frequency of the ATIS message next to the ATIS letter on to toolbar. If you see the frequency there, then all is set up correctly.

hmmm, that's interesting. The next thing I'd check is the comms panel, making sure that the primary frequency, voice server, and voice channel info still looks good.

 

A few more questions to help find the problem:

 

  • When a pilot tries to connect, do you see their connection in EuroScope?
  • When your voice ATIS is connected, wait a few minutes, and then does the connection appear in Servinfo or VATSpy?
  • Using the Roger Wilco client, can you connect to your voice ATIS? Confirm that, in EuroScope, you see the Roger Wilco client connected. Confirm that, in Roger Wilco, you see EuroScope, and that you hear the voice ATIS broadcast.

 

Good luck!

Can you show us screen shot of your Voice Communication Setup Window after you have set the ATIS connection.

I've had a (maybe) similar problem yesterday.

 

- the ATIS was connected to VATSIM and appeared in the controller list

- Multiple record playback was selected

- ATIS and transmit voice were selected in the voice comm setup

- Listen to playback produced the correct playback

- The ATIS frequency appeared in the menu bar

- I did see pilots connecting to my ATIS in the voice room list

- The ATIS appeared in vroute

 

However, when I selected the ATIS in the controller list and selected Listen to Frequency I didn't hear anything. I wasn't online long and didn't have many pilots so I'm not sure if the pilots were able to listen to my ATIS.

 

Am I correct that Listen to Frequency should have made me hear my own ATIS? If yes, any ideas why it didn't work?

Well of course they will not hear you. You don't have ticks on RCV VOI and XMT VOI - receive and transmit voice, so you are not connected to the voice server. You need to connect the ATIS from the Voice Atis window (it should change status to Connected to VATSIM) and then you will see it with the proper ticks in this dialog.

Freek,

 

It is disabled by the program to listen to your voice ATIS back. You will not be able "Listen to frequency" to your ATIS controller. Only other controllers or pilots are able to do that.
