Why can't I get correct destination ATIS?

Hello all,I have ASA (build 355) that I run with FSX and RC on Vista 64. The problem that I'm having has to do with the destination ATIS.I like to fly the 737-800 so I am usually checking destination ATIS approximately 40 nm out. The problem is I always get the current information for where I am at that point in time, not the destination. For instance I will get a report that will say winds are 240 at 37 which is what my instruments show at 12,000 ft instead of 195 at 6 which is what the destination field has. I do have my flight plan loaded into ASA and have checked Create Additional Stations and Enhance Route Coverage.I have checked Force Destination WX Zone but still get the weather for my current position and altitude. When I minimize FSX and check the REPORT screen on ASA I am shown a different report than what I hear from ATIS. I always uncheck "Lock to Closest" and enter my destination on the REPORT screen to get the actual destination weather. Does anyone know what I could be doing wrong? I would love to hear the actual destination weather. :( Thanks for any suggestions. John

hi,u need to tune into 122.02 for u to listen to ur destination atis. if tune 122.0 then u will hear the atis for your current aircraft location. also make sure you have a flight plan filed in ASA. if you are trying to tune the default atis frequency of the destination airport (i.e. FSX atis frequency for the destination airport) then u will not get the correct report if you are using global weather or DWC because global weather applies the weather at the current aircraft location to all airports across the globe. so make sure u have a flight plan in ASA and use 122.02 to get the correct destination atis.Regards,

:( Thank You! I am set to Global Weather for wind smoothing. That must be it! I always load a flight plan into ASA. I also let Radar Contact use the published ATIS frequency for departure/destination airports, so I will need to tell RC that it should use 122.0 for destination weather. Thank you again!Regards,John

Doh! :( That's what I get for responding so late at night. 122.02 for destination. Thank you again.

Hi John,One other thing you now need to do is to manually refresh the AI system in FS. We don't automatically do this anymore. There is an icon on one of the ASA screens for this.Thanks,

Hello!I bought ASA a few days ago, and noticed that I don't get any ASA-Atis at all. Not on Com1, not on Com2.I have to note though, that I use VoxATC, and with that both Coms work. Even the tool from skyblueradio works with com2.I don't know what to do... help? please?Regards,Martin

Hi Martin,Did you mean 122.00?Are you tuning your COM 1 to this and making it active?In your Windows/Sound Screen is the volume for Wave files turned up and not Muted?Thanks,

Hello there,I mean I tried both, 122.00 for my current aircraft location and 122.02 for the destination atis. Both don't work.I tried tuning it to COM 1, made frequency active. But nothing happend. Same to COM 2.In my Windows Sound Preferences everything is set alright, nothing is muted, all bars are at 80% volume.Thanks a lot for your effort helping me out,Martin

Big big sorry here.As I read your post again Jim, I realized my error. I was plain and simply using the wrong frequency. I tried again on 122.00, and it worked. It's bit muffled, but it works.So, thanks for your help, and sorry for any inconvinience...Martin

Hi,Very good!Turn up that wave volume slider to 100 and see if that helps a bit.Thanks,
