Hello! Super new guy here! New to flight sims in general. I'm having a problem with tower at my destination. It seems to give me the active runway at my departure airport rather than the active at my destination when flying VFR (no clue about IFR yet). I start at KOWD, get taxi clearance to active (35), get takeoff clearance, squawk 1200, get frequency change approved, and tune to KBED. About 10 miles out, I do "Say active runway <callsign>" and get runway 29 back. I then say, "<callsign> inbound at 2500 for landing <active runway>" and get back "Enter pattern for left downwind runway 35". If I try to specify runway 29, I get "request denied" or something similar. I have tried this both with and without a flight plan filed, and flying to different airports, KSFZ for example, and always get runway 35, the active at my departure. I'm kind of fresh out of ideas as to what I should do. Any help would be much appreciated!
Here'sattached a screenshot if that helps:
