I've been experimenting with Chatter on P2A and have been downloading mp3 files from liveatc.net. I organized the files via Airports. The file order goes; Pilot2ATC_2021_x64\ Sounds\ Chatter\ ATC_Chatter\ US\ 31 Airport ICAO codes\ Clr, Gnd, Twr, Dep, App\ mp3 files. Then, I made a "Ctr" folder in the main US folder and put mp3's in it for Center controllers. My issue is that I have recordings from every US center and I can't find a way to play the correct corresponding center. I could be flying in Indianapolis Center and hear NY center recordings. Another issue is that recordings at airports always play in the same order even when the shuffle setting is turned on. I would really appreciate some feedback on how to fix this. Also ask me questions if you're confused about this issue because I suck at explaining things. And yes I know I need to purchase fs atc-chatter but I can't at the moment and want to get the best out of free recordings.

Unfortunately, the Chatter function does not support the Center boundaries or multiple center folders.

The Randomize Chatter Play Order option picks a random file from those in the folder.  If there is a small number of files in the folder, it's possible that the randomization is not very random.   With a large number of files, the pick should be fairly random.

Thanks so much!
