erjdriver Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 I'd like to position my airplane on a specific runway for takeoff. Can that be done? I can put it on the runway - but it's pointed the wrong way.
Steggles Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 The simple answer is no. Not to sure what happens if you change the wind thou. -16AGR- 16th Air Guards Regiment is always looking for pilots - http://www.16agr.com EWRS - Early Warning Radar Script Specs: Gigabyte Sniper Z5-S Intel i5-4670k 3.4GHz OC'd 3.9GHz w/ Thermaltake 120mm Water 3.0 Pro Liquid CPU Cooler 16GB RAM Gigabyte GTX 1080 TM Hotas Warthog: SN: 06976 Saitek Pro Flight Combat Rudder Pedals TrackIR5 with TrackClipPro & Oculus Rift 2x 28" 4k UHD Monitors (3840x2160 each) + 1280x1024
aceviper Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 Add some wind ....5 m/s from the direction you want to take off.
Vedexent Posted March 22, 2016 Posted March 22, 2016 IRL, the active heading of the runway is determined by the wind direction - e.g. Runway 09 vs. Runway 27. Try setting the wind direction so that your plane, sitting on the runway you want it facing, is facing into the wind. Also - be aware that some airstrips don't have a reversible runway, due to mountains or other geographical features.
