Nobody?Is this not possible?

I'm not entirely sure here but I do remember being able to change it with the true heading and/or the runway ends (18-36, 36-18)Like I said though, I was trying to implement xwind runways and I just noticed it by accident. Playing around with the properties above may help finding the answer... :(

We need more info on your airport.Bob

It's a general question for any airport.

I was hoping somebody else would answer as I've never actually done this, but I think what you need to do is, in AFCAD2 or AFX, drag and drop your preferred runway to the top of the list.If the aircraft then use the runway you want, but at the wrong end, you need to reverse the runway's base and reciprocal ends.If that doesn't work, why not just close all other runways to landings and take-offs?John
