Hi Dave

I'm still having problems with erroneous ATIS information when flying any of the Digital Aviation Piper Cheyenne models (no issues whith any other stock or add-on aircraft). I have done a bit more testing and investigating the logs and I see this difference between using the default Cessna 172 and the Cheyenne (flying from Munich (EDDM in these examples)):

The first equates accurately with the weather generated by Active Sky for Munich....the second does not.

I don't know whether this will help to throw some light on the problem (running out of ideas fast here). Pleae let me know if you have a 'Eureka' moment....any assistance would be greatly received.

Been using PFE combined with FDC really successfully with the iFly 737 and I would really love to get this combination working with my favourite turbo prop aircraft.

All the best

Well I have absolutely no idea why a different aircraft produces differ ant atis info. All pfe does is interrogate fduipc, the aircraft in use makes no difference as far as I'm concerned
