February 13, 20224 yr While troubleshooting the taxiway issue, I noticed another little issue. The issue is with regard to forcing a specific runway for departure, if no SID is assigned. Steps to produce the issue: Start with a new flight plan. Click Add Wpt. Enter an ICAO for an airport with multiple runways, i.e., KHOU. And press enter. Click Info beside the map to see preferred runways. Click Add Wpt. Enter am ICAO for another airport, i.e., KFTW. Note the given runway under SID and be sure it is one of the preferred runways. (If not, you may need to take steps to set it as the runway.) Click SID. Select a non-preferred runway. Ensure Force Dep Rwy is selected. Click Load. Many times after following this sequence the preferred runway is still displayed below SID. Usually Clicking SID and then Load will resolve this, if the desired runway still shows in the dropdown Runway box. Because the workaround is fairly easy to do, I don't see this as a serious issue.

February 13, 20224 yr Commercial Member If you don't want to add a SID, you press the Set Rwy button at the bottom of the buttons on the SID screen. Also, if you don't want a SID to be assigned, be sure and uncheck the "ATC Assigns SID" on the FltPlan tab of Config or else you will get a SID assigned when you use the Set Rwy button. Dave
February 14, 20224 yr Author Thanks for the clarification. I think I saw the Set Rwy button the other day, but it slipped my mind. (Not hard to do nowadays.) Gil Yoder about.me/gyoder
