Wind Dir and Landing

Recommended Posts

Just had a VERY interesting flight into KSAN. For some reason RC had planes landing on rwy 09 (They hardly ever use rwy 9 because of wind coming off ocean). Had to try to land my 737 with a 14 knt tailwind. Was real fun. What causes RC to all of sudden do that. It's done it a couple times before.

RC gives first priority to active AI direction in choosing a runway so FS's AI engines decisions get top priority. If no AI are present then winds and runway and navaid suitability determine RC's choice.As far as AI recognition if you are using FSX and UT2 for traffic, be sure to set UT2's spawning range top max so RC can properly observe them prior to assigning an arrival runway. If you are using ASE with FSX be sure to follow all service pack instructions including FSUIPC4 upgrades to avoid destination wind problems when using DWC forcing global weather mode. Check out their support forum.
