RWY selection?

Featured Replies

Lately, I have been experiencing an issue with my PC or MSFS2020, despite not making any changes.
When I select an airport, it automatically defaults to a specific runway. For instance, at KEWR, the default runway is 22R. However, if I try to select a different departure runway, such as 11, it reverts back to 22R. Strangely though, when I select a parking position, it works fine without any issues.
Has anyone else experienced a similar problem? If so, do you have any suggestions? Thank you.

It's the same here.  What works well for me is to first choose a parking position.  At this point MSFS will choose a runway apparently based more on your parking position than other factors.  So....if you wish to take of on ANY particular runway the key is to choose a SID married to that particular runway you wish to use, then ATC will direct you to that runway.

Thank you for your message! I forgot to mention that there is no wind, no Flight Plan (FPL) or Air Traffic Control (ATC) involvement. Previously, I did not encounter any issues with selecting any runway that I had in mind. However, now I am facing an issue with runway selection. I have checked my user experience and assistance settings, and everything is turned off. I have rechecked them again for confirmation.

You need to turn ON (IIRC) the setting to enforce the flight plan. Even though you're not inputting a flight plan, the selection of a runway is part of a flight plan to MSFS.
