Just tried another flight and had a good improvement with views by keeping Advdisp undocked, and the voices much better by reducing the acceleration in DX.Two strange things: leaving Denver, RC had all the traffic taking off and landing on north bound runways with the wind at 190@10 kts. Second, I was ordered to taxi into position and hold, just as I did, an ERJ swooped over the top and landed ahead of me on the runway.How does RC handle multiple runways and does it get overwhelmed at large airports?? Mike

are you running Active Sky? or any other weather generator? this could be causing it. when FS loads it takes weather from itself (default) if ASV is not running yet. after the weather update, which will take a little time, AI will still take off from the runway which was in use before the weather update. you can do two things:1) click on Refresh AI in ASV2) reload your scenery (this is what i would do)with #2, the scenery would be loaded with the new weather settings.i hope this solves your problem!take care,matthewhttp://online.vatsimindicators.net/837308/2072.png

Hi Mike,As Matthew said the order of loading is important. Any weather should be loaded before you load RC and the ai should be reloaded immediately after you load the weather (ASV does this automatically).As far as the 'near miss' with the erj is concerned, if he and you were using the same runway RC shouldn't have told you to line up with him on such short final. I assume you taxied into position immediately on receiving the clearance.All the best,John

John, 1) I always use ASV and it is the first thing up and running before even starting FS. I have the 'refresh AI' option checked, but I'll try again by doing it manually. Just saw that FSUIPC 3.51 had an issue with wind vectors, could this have messed up RC? I'm getting 3.52 now. 2) Don't know what to say about the near miss. I received the 'taxi and hold' command just as I was nearing the runway and still rolling. I had done my pre-takeoff check while taxiing so I just continued onto the runway. I guess it pays to use your eyes and not just your ears :-) But, thought you would still want to know about the situation for future reference. Denver has always been a issue for me in terms of AI, large amount of traffic and many runways. I don't have a crossing runways AFCAD in case you're wondering. Mike

Hi Mike,I don't think what you saw would be the issue with fsuipc 3.51.RC doesn't control the runway the ai take off from (unfortunately). It's still FS that does that so maybe forcing a manual ai refresh after loading the weather would help. RC assigns you to one of the runways the ai are using.RC will handle a large wolume of traffic (in testing I sat for a fair while at Heathrow with Ultimate Traffic plus additions running at 100%) so that shouldn't be an issue.I've used a crossing afcad at KDEN and it was something else. At night it looked great with all the aircraft lights in the sky (I was there for the avsim conference a while back and remember how they looked). RC works fine with crossing afcads btw.All the best,John

I actually got rid of all my crossing runway AFCADS. While it really smoothed out the traffic, it got a bit weird when they all were landing from every direction and the wind was 270@30kts; especially strange in Denver. I have found that in places like Denver with parallel runways a solution is to close one set of runways to landing. That way, landing aircraft use one runway(s) and takeoff(s) on another. much more realistic. The ultimate answer, of course, is for FS to improve its internal AI protocols. Mike
