August 30, 201213 yr I use egcc as my home base I have jst populated it with ai traffic, by default the wind direction is set at 60 and so traffic is directed to 05L however all arrivals land on 05R this is not equiped with ILS, without stating the obvious, is there a way of changing the landing pattern of the ai aircraft from 05R to 05L many thanks for any suggestions. frank cann

The only one with no ILS and on which landing should be stopped is 23L, because there's no taxiway off the end and aircraft have to backtrack. Similarly takeoffs from 05R shouldn't be allowed. Unfortunatley, the way FS is designed,you can't stop landings or takeoffs from only one end, only the whole runway. So you either have to close 05R/23L altogether for AI, or put up with backtracking traffic blocking the runway. Regards Pete Win10: 22H2 19045.2728 CPU: 9900KS at 5.5GHz Memory: 32Gb at 3800 MHz.

August 30, 201213 yr Or you can have two AFCADS, one with take-offs on 5L and landings on 5R and another with vice versa for when the wind is coming from the other direction on the 23 runways, then swap them out depending on which way the wind is coming from. UK2000 provide two AFCAD's set up as such with Manchester Xtreme. Remembering to check the weather and active AFCAD before a flight is something I often forget, lol. Cheers, Andy.

Maybe it could be automated -- a little Lua plug in to read the wind direction, rename the files, then send FSX the "reload scenery" control. not sure if the latter will work from files though, it may use caching.

August 30, 201213 yr No you cant change AFCAD's when FS is running unfortunately, it wont see the change until the next time FS is loaded. Cheers, Andy.
August 30, 201213 yr So, in other words, you can stop landings or take offs from only one end.... Christopher Low AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU / 64GB DDR5-6000 RAM / 12GB Nvidia RTX 4070 Super GPU / Gigabyte X870E Aorus Elite Wifi 7 / 1+2TB Samsung Evo Plus M2 Nvme UK2000 Beta Tester
August 30, 201213 yr No, the only option you've got is to designate a runway as landing only or takeoffs only, it has got nothing to do with the direction. That's why you need a second file with the runway rules reversed, otherwise when the winds coming from the opposite direction the runway takeoff or landing designations will be wrong again. That's true for Manchester at least anyway, that's obviously not the case at every airport, it's usually down to local noise abatement orders. Cheers, Andy.
August 30, 201213 yr Author Pete , many thanks for the ILS info. i read what i thought was the latest info on egcc,online, i must have missed this, iam using the exstream version of egcc what a good addon it is,your answer has solved my problem compleatly frank cann
