More serious than sexy copilot

[jef32]

Hi

 

I don't know if the subject had been asked and it's more serious than my previous wish:

 

Runways in use depending from the direction of the wind in VFR rules. That would be more realistic no ?

 

You may say: " What's about the insertion ILS point" ?

 

In reality, the direction of the wind has the priority above the ILS ( if an ILS exists for one direction of a runway and not the opposite, as all runways in DCS) and you could just keep the ILS landing for the IFR approachs.

Airfields on the Black Sea map already change runway heading depending on the wind. They do have a 'preferred' direction, but if the wind is strong enough it will swap.

 

Unless you're talking about the airfields with multiple runways, in which case the Black Sea incarnation of the engine only seems to support one runway per airfield.

 

NTTR appears to be adding support for multiple runways in some limited manner, e.g. Nellis with separate runways for arrivals and departures.

 

On the other hand, NTTR airfields don't appear to change direction and will happily have aircraft takeoff/land with strong tailwinds. But NTTR is still technically in alpha and hasn't been officially released, so it may not be the final intended state.

Hi

 

At Nellis, i've seen that the departures and arrivals runways aren't the same. The only problem is that they are in the opposite direction.
