Post subject:  Continuing problems with ATIS when flying DA PA31 Cheyenne

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

Owen

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
