Closed Runway

Featured Replies

Tonight I flew from Prestwick (EGPK) and when I got clearance, I was assigned a closed runway. 03 and 21 are closed in the AFCAD, my scenery data base has been rebuilt, and still it assigns me 03. I have closed runways at other airports and I have never has been assigned one before. Any idea's why it keeps assigning me one at EGPK ?

I do not have a lot of ai traffic at Prestwick, but the ai uses 30 or 13, it never uses 03 or 21.I will make a log and send it to you tonight.Thanks.

I have ran into the same problem at IAH. 15L and 15R is always a departure runway. And I have it departure only in my AFCAD. Sometimes it will give me 33L/33R but thats landing into 15L/15R. But sometimes Approach will give me 15R to land. I fly on VATSIM so there is no AI there.

make a log, duplicating the problem. then send me the log. i can explain why rc chose the runway it did.details on making a log is pinned to the top of the forumjd

The problem, if you can call it that, was no ai had taken off or landed before I asked for clearance. I have now increased my ai traffic at Prestwick and before I ask for clearance an aircraft has either taken off or landed, so now Radar Contact assigns me the correct runway.
