Cycle 1713 brings a new ground layout to Riga airport, and the newly recorded ATIS files ensure compatibility with the Latvia ATIS maker. Any problems, questions, suggestions: janeks.tompolskis@lv-vacc.org

Thanks to Tom Earl for helping to test and troubleshoot the changes, and to Tomass Stalgis for providing an insight into the real world ATIS system.

The update package have been released with new ATIS files to reflect the ATIS of the real world airport. Without this updated version, your ATIS will not work, but will give errors about missing files. Please extract the entire ZIP into the existing installation location.

The update includes the changing of stands 26-29 to reflect new numbers.

In the coming days, ther long-awaited new scenery will be released for Riga. We're currently working with JustSim, the developers, and we are updating the sector file to reflect the ground layout of that scenery. Another package update can be expected in the next few days when this is complete.

Thanks for your patience. As always, please e-mail any comments, errors or suggestions to me: janeks.tompolskis@lv-vacc.org
