In my case, yes. If I forget to load a plan, the prompt will tell me to contact departure instead of listening to ATIS, at which time I'll disable, load plan and then enable.
I've since adopted ASN for weather generation and until yesterday I had experienced no problems whatsoever. In this particular case, I was trying a new aircraft on CYUL to CYHZ and this time the "completing setup" took several minutes, AI aircraft would load at their gates slowly and in a few waves, ATIS would go silent after the first loop and I was getting more delayed responsiveness at the end of the flight which seriously made a mess out of the landing.
Tried this again at a few other airports and every time it loaded up fine as it had been doing previously. Back to CYUL and the same problem, though occasionally (maybe 10% of the time) it would load OK. Interestingly, the problem also seemed to happen when I loaded under cleared weather, so there might be some other factor in play here (AI generation?) though the earlier messed-up approach and landing seemed to mirror my prior weather issues such that I don't feel I can rule that out. Frustrating. Going to roll back and reinstall some things this afternoon to see if I can get closer to the root of things. I can live with choppy ATIS (ASN's reporting feature nearly replaces it anyway) but the in-flight response delays are infuriating.
