Post subject:  Arrival Atis question

Not sure if this is a problem I am seeing or just the way it works. I am using P3D version 3.4 and Paid FSUIPC. When I press the 2 key for arrival ATIS, I get the ATIS in small parts. Press it once, and I get the weather, or part of it in the FSUIPC text screen. Then nothing, I press 2 again, and it acts like it is continuing with the rest of the atis. Sometimes I have to hit 2 for the third time to get the entire atis with landing runway. Sometimes, after I do this, I hear an ATC conversation with another aircraft, and the text that shows is not the text from the atc conversation, but is some of the ATIS info I requested, scrolling again. It is as if the ATIS info was held in a buffer, and is repeating in the text window. Eventually, goes back to normal.

My question is, is this ATIS broadcast supposed to be in parts, or should I see the entire broadcast by pressing the 2 key one time?

I don't use P3D, but PF3's ACARS ATIS uses the FS kneeboard which is not available in P3D. Apparently it does work in P3D with some glitches. The following thread has some more info:

OK, not a big deal, I see other people have seen this. Just wanted to see if I had something set incorrectly.

If enough people complain about not having the kneeboard maybe LM will add it :)

Found a way to get entire ATIS to display in P3D. Press the 2 key once. You get partial ATIS, then hit the 0 Key like you are going to transmit to ATC, and the rest of the ATIS will show up in the text window.

Interesting... thanks for sharing.... maybe we need a 'Tips for using PF3 with P3D' topic?
