Hi all,

I have made 6 flights the last 2 weeks.
5 of them where the same flights. Lebl-Eham with PMDG 747v3
Only on 1 flight i got the atis freq.
Today i've made a flight Omdb-Eham.
Again no atis freq showed up.
I have read somewhere here in the forum that you can filled it in manually.
So i did that, ticked the box, saved it en restart pf3.
Quess what: no atis freq and the box was unticked though i've saved it.
When i typed in the airport icao, press enter and show fs freq. i can see what the atis freq. is!

My question is: why isn't it showing up together with the clearance, ground and tower freq.?

Best regards John

In my installation the ATIS for OMDB is on 131.70, and the log shows that you have correctly tuned to that frequency.
Do you have a file PF3\Data\user_facilities.dat?
If yes, can you post it here? And (while PF3 is not running) rename it to make sure it does not interfere?

P.S.: Ah, I see you're flying on airway UL980. When you do it again, please look down while flying over DLE/ROBEG/BADMU/MOBSA/OSN and you might see me there flying in a Cessna 337 about 20000 feet below you, as this is a leg of my standard test route for the new PF3 betas (EDDP to EDDG)

Hi ThomasAH,

I found 131.7 on the net.
Before the latest update i could always see it when i start up pf3 (with all the other freq.).
Now it is saying 0.00

I hope i've attached the correct file!

Best regards John

There is nothing configured for OMDB in it, but the file has changed yesterday, so I don't know what it looked like when you had the problem.
Anyway, please try with this file renamed and see if ATIS works again.

Hi ThomasAH,

The only thing i did was putting 131.70 into it, ticked the box befor it and saved it.
Though it didn't save it i removed it because when i checked it, it was already known.

To make sure: ALL of the airports i have checked, (like eidw, lebl, eham) ATIS freq are shown as 0.00!

I renamed that file and run pf3 again. still showing 0.00 at different airports.
Also did a rerun of data base with no luck.

I've attached the latest one.

Thnx

Best regards John

I'm not sure if ATIS frequencies are really read from the simulator. I think they are stored in a text file in PF3\Data\
Can you check if the file corresponding to your simulator looks ok? (something with "atis" and the name of the flight simulator in the file name)

Yes they are. If the airport in question doesn't have ATIS by default then it needs to be added by the user

@ ThomasAH,

Yes i have 3 of those files. 1 for fs9, 1 for fsx and 1 for p3d. But they are .DAT files
For fsx is 56 kb

@ Dave,

LEBL does have atis. from 6 flights i have made from this airport it only showed up 1 time without doing anything.
When i go to option 2, add new facility, there you can enter icao, press enter and all those freq. showed up.
Can i assume that it is there?

By filling it in the facilities part and ticked the box and then save it, it won't show up either.
By checking here again, i see the box got unticked. (looks like the safe button is not working).

I have attached the atis_freq for fsx.

Any more suggestions what to do?

Best regards John

You have KPHL twice. Not sure if this can cause such problems.

Hi ThomsAH,



I only fly in europe!! Never ever have made a flight in usa.

How can i remove it?
It's a .DAT file.
(I've not much of that computer knowledge )
