Just curious if there is a threshold wind under which RC4 won't bother to assign the upwind runway?I've noticed on the last few flights that I've been given a landing runway that was not the 'obvious' choice given the winds. The most significant of which was one with almost a 12kt tailwind when the opposite runway would have been the obvious choice. Same thing happens sometimes with takeoffs.Is this a limitation of RC and it's interaction with the weather, or is it basing it's runway choices off the AFCAD file (perhaps the afcad file has some constraint in it causing RC to assign me less than optimal runways?) I've noticed this happening at many different airports.

rc will land you with the other ai. if there are no ai, then i will choose the runway with an ils, best suited, into the wind, making sure the runway is long enoughif no ils, then the best runway into the wind, with a runway length suitable for your plane typeif the ai are landing with a 20kt tailwind, you'll have to ask ms how they came up with their algorithmjd

OK cool, sounds like it's probably an AFCAD file issue then.

if the ai are landing with a 20kt tailwind, you'll have to ask ms how they came up with their algorithm :-lol JimCYWG

Have been reading your discussion with interest. Yesterday I had RC asigning me a RW with 9 kt tailwind - but AI landing, correctly, in the opposite direction - scary, I tell you.BTW, real world aviation would be much safer, if everybody turned crashdetection off ;-)BobScandinavian 1063

Make sure Interact with AI is checked to see if that helps.Make sure your FSUIPC is current. There was one short duration version that did not correctly report AI and another that did not break down wind components correctly. See the links pinned at the top.See if these things help.AI direction takes precedence but if they are not present within a time limit after the runway is assigned, that assignment may not change.
