I've been working for a while on my interpretation of ORF for FSX using ADE, and I've activated the cross runways so the smaller planes will use the shorter runway (14/32) as they sometimes do in real life. However, a side effect of this is that I have my commercial traffic using it as well. It's rather disconcerting to see an AA MD-80 or a WN 733 trying to land on a 4800 ft runway. Is there a way I can keep them from doing this? I closed a couple of links of one end of that runway, but to no effect. Would changing the width do anything?

Did you read the crosswind tutorial?Since you are using ADE there are many post on proper activation at their forum. If large Jets are using runway 14/32 your Empty Weight may be set too low.

I have read the crosswind tutorial. Just to be safe, I reread it a few minutes ago. Seems like I'm doing everything right.I have looked at the offending aircraft and their empty weights. My E170 is set at 76001 and my MD-80 is at 80170. Shortened, my crosswind runway is a shade over 3300' long, which should make it off limits to anything smaller than GA aircraft.Any ideas as to what runway length to empty weight is used to make a runway unusable?
