Neither.

Global before all.

@zbelle… MaxSez: Wrong! Give me a break… Global is a fact! This is a typical IF no brainer in the future tense!

That’s what we have Google for my friend. I’ll explain it to you for a £50 fee. (Just a joke, in case the sensitive few were wondering)

Personally, I would rather see live displays. However, thats not an option, so I choose new aircraft. I don’t have live so I’m not too fussed about ATIS :)

I believe that the C13 is all but confirmed so we have that to look forward too but I can’t wait for ATIS either. But I think we need more well made prop planes first

@Danjuanspan and @Qantas_Pilot LOL! thanks! 😄You guys made me smile! Anyway yahoo4life!

Personally I would prefer ATIS over new aircraft because IF would be an advanced mobile sim! Plus I generally just think ATIS would be a lot cooler and better over another new aircraft! (Although I’m looking forward to the new C-130!)

I would much rather focus on new features like atis or more enhanced weather. Maybe occasionally upgrading the current aircraft. More features would make the whole experience better. Though it may not be as great at generating revenue as a new aircraft will be. So I see new aircraft and global being the priority

I agree. Would prefer to see live displays before aircrafts are added.

The devs have done beautifully with aircraft. I think it would be nice to have the ATIS

ATIS all the way! As a novice airman I think it would be a huge help to all from ATC down to us in the ’ Trash Haulers’.

Would suggest that a set format is set up rather than free text to avoid over complicating factors.

@David_Lockwood. Dave there is off the shelf software, it’s a no brainer: “StarCast” is only one of many vendors: just fill in the blanks and cut & past METAR.
