Request another runway - small bug?

Featured Replies

I used the request another runway function for the first time. The Tower controller, kept telling me that I'm cleared to use Rwy 9 - repeated it without waiting for my repsonse. When I did respond, the controller stopped telling me. Seems there's a small bug here. This happended at CYYJ.Thanks

Thanks for the report. I'll check it on my next flight.All the best,John

when (where in the flight) did you use it? last night i changed runway because 24L was a couple hundred feet from where i was parked, 24R was several thousand.as soon as i was told to taxi to runway 24R, i asked for the other and was cleared to 24L. i didn't see/hear a problem therejd

I was at Victoria International CYYJ with a new free add-on airport from AVSIM.I had received clearance, received push and start clearance and had contacted ground and told to go to rwy 13 for take-off. I asked for rwy 9 and received the permission, but then the ground controller looped and kept telling me I had clearance.I'll try it again and seeif it happens - it might have been a problem on my system - you never know.While I'm here, another question. After landing and handing over to ground, when contacting ground, the pilot wil say "with you at Echo 4" or some runway exit ID. Are these random or is RC4 supposed to be reading the AFCAD for the aircraft location? I ask, because they never actually agree with the AFCAD or the published airport charts.I'll let you know if the rwy request bug happens again.
