Versions:
vATIS 4.1.0-beta.19, released by vATIS for VATSIM, is a dedicated simulation utility that lets virtual air-traffic controllers create and stream real-time ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service) broadcasts on the VATSIM network. Built for flight-simulation enthusiasts who staff virtual control positions, the application parses live METAR data, automatically formats airport weather, runway-in-use, NOTAM and altimeter information into standard ICAO phraseology, and instantly generates the continuous voice loop pilots tune to for pre-flight briefings. Its streamlined interface supports multiple airport profiles, preset text templates, voice synthesis selection and one-click connection to the VATSIM voice servers, eliminating the manual reading traditionally required during online events. Because the program updates the broadcast whenever new weather arrives, controllers can keep the information current without interrupting other duties, making it equally useful for tower, ground, approach or center positions during casual sessions, weekly fly-ins or large international events such as Cross the Pond. The lightweight client runs alongside popular ATC suites and flight-data editors, occupying minimal CPU and network resources while maintaining the realism expected by virtual pilots. vATIS is classified under Simulation > Flight Simulation > ATC Tools and is presently offered in a single preview branch, 4.1.0-beta.19, reflecting ongoing refinements ahead of stable release. The software is available for free on get.nero.com, with downloads provided via trusted Windows package sources (e.g. winget), always delivering the latest version, and supporting batch installation of multiple applications.
