Post subject:  ATIS Display using RemoteText
Hi,

I'm posting this again separately as it may have been missed - it was mentioned in a follow-up to previous thread:

I use PF3 Remote Text display for ATC messages; I have discovered that I need to have 'Show ATC messages to / from AI aircraft' selected to see the ATIS text - with 'Hide ATC messages to / from AI aircraft' I don't see the ATIS text.
I'm guessing this isn't the expected behaviour? I've also noticed that sometimes other ATC messages/responses aren't shown in RemoteText - I'm trying to capture an example.

Thanks,
Martin

I used Wireshark to capture the message being sent to RemoteText (but not displayed):

0:Gatwick Airport Information Romeo Weather at 1745 Zulu winds calm visibility 10 kilometres or more Sky condition clear . Temperature 15 . Dewpoint 5 QNH 1013 Runway 08L in use, Landing departing runway 08L . VFR aircraft say direction of flight. All aircraft readback hold short instructions. Advise controller on initial contact you have Romeo

And RemoteText sent the following reply: OK...

Hope this helps you find the problem,
Martin

Thanks but it's not really a problem because ATIS is not actually an ATC message... the message ID which is sent as the header, in this case '0:' tells RemoteText what to display according to the options you have set, so it's working as designed (as they say)

I'll see what I can do to make the ATIS messages cut through for all settings.

Ah, another misunderstanding by me - thanks Dave.
Having turned off FSX ATC as you suggested, and which was confusing me, I was trying to get a complete ATIS summary on-screen and failing.

This is what I see using the default FSX Message window - the information is truncated:

This is what I see if I enable the FSUIPC multi-line window - the information is similarly truncated:

And this is what I see if I use RemoteText with the 'Show ATC messages to / from AI aircraft' option - it may be unintended, but it's really helpful:

Apologies if I'm being a pain :oops:

Thanks again for a great piece of software,
Martin

No problem... I'm looking at it now, if it's an easy enough change it will be in the next release, which is due within the next couple of days, once I get the documentation sorted.
