Profiles
When you launch vATIS, a dialog window will appear displaying a list of Profiles. If this is your first time using vATIS, the list will initially be empty. Typically, users obtain and import Profiles provided by the Facility Engineer of their ATC facility.
To open a Profile, select it and click Open or double-click its name in the list. The Profile dialog will then close, and the main vATIS window will appear.

To create a Profile, click the New button on the Profiles window.
Enter a name for the Profile and click OK.

Importing and Exporting Profiles

Launch vATIS Profile via Command Line
You can launch a vATIS profile directly from the Command Line or Terminal by using the --profile argument.
For example: vATIS.exe --profile 3068994d-f5a0-46db-a5d1-9b0fb8e67cc5
Finding the Profile ID
The profile ID can be located in the application data folder (refer to the section above for folder paths). Profiles are stored in the Profiles folder, and the file names represent the profile IDs.
To identify which profile corresponds to a specific profile name:
- Open the Profiles folder.
- Use a text editor to open a profile file.
- Check the contents to match the profile name to its ID.
