Landing direction

[gulredrel]

Hope you can help.

Have set wind to direction to around 250 at 4m/s on ground in wheather option.

Atc guids me to take-off RW 04 at Mozdok. Okay cause wind is coming from around 054 there.

 

But now coming to land at Krymsk, atc wants me to land RW 22 with wind 054.

 

What's wrong here? I can later post Mission file if needed.

 

Thanks

Without testing, my best guess would be the 3.5 m/s (cos(30°) x 4m/s) tail wind isn't high enough to make Krymsk ATC change from the default RW 22

Thanks for the info. Will try higher setting.

 

Does anybody know which tail wind speed is high enough?

 

Thanks

Does anybody know which tail wind speed is high enough?

I usually use a 5 m/s minimum tail wind to force the AI ATC's to change their default runway direction i.e. Maykop's default is 22 (the Alt) but PRMG (ILS) is only available on 04 (the Main)

 

Increasing your wind speed from 4 m/s to 6 m/s on 250°, *should* give you a 5 m/s tail wind at Krymsk. I don't know minimum required by the game logic.
