AFCAD Runway Question/Help

Featured Replies

Hi!Currently I am doing my first airport and regardless of wind direction, the ATC will always divert the aircraft to the same runway end. I even tried closed for takeoffs and the ATC still send them over there. I also tried "lengthening" the other runway that run along side of it. So far no luck. :(Would anyone be willing to give me some tips so I can use both ends of the runway properly when the wind changes. Thank you for your time.Julian

If there is an ILS on only one end of the runway, ATC will use that end exclusively until the wind exceeds 10 kts or so. This is pretty typical behavior at many real airports. If you wish, add a "fake" ILS to the other end in AFCAD and then ATC will switch ends with wind direction.Hope this helps,-- Tom GibsonCalifornia Classic Propliners: http://www.calclassic.com/Cal Classic Alco Page: http://www.calclassic.com/alco/Freeflight Design Shop: http://www.freeflightdesign.com/ San Diego Model RR Museum: http://www.sdmodelrailroadm.com/Drop by! ___x_x_(")_x_x___
