Yes, I think this is the way to go in the future, also the phraseology can
be refined per geographical area. However, for now I'll just bung in the
default file for the release. I can either do the current scheme of all the
base package airports with ATIS + a selection of very major ones, or all the
US ones with ATIS. Is 30 MB too much to add to FG's memory requirement in
one hit?

If you can email me the words and script that would be great. It took quite
a long time to index all the words when I did the original recording - this
should be a lot quicker.

Agreed, with the real weather ATIS is fairly essential!
