I’ve had this recurring issue for some time, maybe the whole time Ive owned this sim:
Sometimes I start at an airport parked and bring up the ATC window. It pops up but there is no option for ATIS. Live weather and traffic are working but no ATC options. Sometimes, there is a taxi option, usually not.
I’ll get on the next day and everything is working as it should. I can see a ATIS option, click it and get the weather info, no prob. Same airport. Nothing changes. Three days later, bam, no ATIS again.
Wth is going on with this? I am of the understanding that this game is fed to us via a cloud server? Does this ATC also come from this? What all is being fed from this server, if there is one? I know weather comes from Meteoblue and live traffic comes from somewhere else(?)
But is the sim dependent on if meteoblue/live traffic server are up and functioning properly?
And does this ATIS information also come from some other server that is down a lot?
