map wide ATIS feature

Open HILOK opened this issue 2 years ago β€’ 2 comments

@rkusa just a thought for consideration, while you are reviewing the lua code : )

what about a feature that automatically adds ATIS broadcast to every field on a map?

off the top of my head, it could work like this:

  • user configures a generic ATIS format
  • then selects applicable fields or groups (blue/red/neutral)
  • broadcast frequencies by default are the VHF tower frq+0.025MHz (e.g. tower 124.6 -> ATIS 124.625). as far as i know there should'nt be any frq conflicts this way

I like the idea πŸ‘ I might have to combine this with a feature that disables the broadcast while no one is active on a certain frequency to save on TTS calls and overall SRS bandwidth.

glad to hear that 😊 yep had also the concern that it might take too much resources. but this could be mitigated by narrowing the selection of fields instead of "all blue" etc. basically i was looking for a solution that would be easy to implement to any mission/scenario without much time or hassle. my hopes are that eventually this mod could make it into dcs liberation πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ˜
