Why do I hear the stock ATIS when connected to PE?
Why do I hear the stock ATIS when connected to PE?
When I logged on today and tuned to the ATIS at KBUR, I heard the stock P3D ATIS voice instead of the PE voice I usually hear. There are two ATIS frequencies at KBUR, so I tried the other one; same thing. Then I moved to KSBA, and same thing. The green text scrolls across the top of the screen and everything. I heard someone on the radio say "negative ATIS" when calling for clearance. Is the PE ATIS system broken right now?

Pilotedge currently does not pipe an ATIS onto your simulator frequencies. We have nothing to do with any ATIS that you hear within your sim.

That would be a really great feature. I'm guessing the reason that all the ATIS's are not broadcast is it would be a major bandwidth issue. Correct?? Sure would be cool though.

Huh. I could have sworn PE had it's own ATIS. Guess I was listening to the stock ATIS all along.
How does weather work in PE? Is there even such a thing as everyone flying in the same weather? Does PE use the real world weather? That would be nice because we could get our ATIS from the real world via phone or something like LiveATC.
Sorry for being a noob

Re: Why do I hear the stock ATIS when connected to PE?
The stock PE system doesn't have ATIS. That's for a number of technical reasons, but also for operational reasons. Nearly every single commercial customer and a significant percentage of retail customers fly with custom weather. Having the sim-generated ATIS allows the pilot to know what weather they're actually going to hit in the sim (which is pretty important when it's different to the real world weather).
A member of the PE community put myflightroute.com together and included an ATIS system which understands the rules we use regarding the selection of runways in use at each airport. It's not integrated into the PE clients yet, though.
In short, you should use the ATIS system in your sim and ignore the runways in use (just deal with whatever you're assigned by the controller), or you if you use r/w weather, you can get the PE ATIS from myflightroute.com.
