ATC gives partially the wrong runway

[DoubleK]

Hey ED,

 

I noticed lately that the ATC gives me the wrong runway when it comes to the wind so I did some testing.

 

First, I only tested dynamic weather, because that's how I noticed it and I got always the wrong runway, I always had a backwind instead of a wind coming from the front how it's supposed to be.

 

Funny thing, when I changed to static weather because I wanted to make sure the wind is coming from the direction I suspect it to come from, I got the correct runway with the wind coming from the front.

 

My guess because I can't see your code is that in dynamic weather the point from where the wind is taken is somewhere on the map but not on the runway itself. So it might be correct somewhere on the map but not on the runway itself.

 

Might be worth looking into it because AI also takes off from the wrong runway.

 

Thanks and keep up the good work.

 

edit:

 

testing was done only on the Nevada map from Nellis and Tonopah Testrange also i wasnt sure if this is the right topic, please move it if so.

Hi

 

can you please attach a track replay showing your test.

 

It is likely due to the wind as you mention, a slight wind in the opposite direction will change the active runway

 

thanks
