Active runway utility FSX...

[Slick9 24]

top of the morning ladies and gents, did some searching on the forums and in a couple of file libraries but didn't find anything. 

 

i'm looking for a utility will give me the active runway information for my destination - right now i look at the wind direction at the destination and use that to figure the active out, problem with that is sometimes FSX just has a mind of its own or the winds are calm or crossed and i can't figure out which runway to prep for till i can contact ATC - that's usually about 60 to 70 miles out and too busy a time to bury my head in the FMC to make tons of changes (if they need to be made).

 

so if you know of a utility that would provide this info for FSX i would appreciate the info.

 

thnx!!!

after more searching i see other people have been looking for the same thing.  so far lots of suggestions on alternative methods but there doesn't seem to be a way outside of weather report or ATIS to figure out the destination active runway.
