Mount Pleasant Active Runway

[BMO]

Trying out ILS Landings I found that the active runway logic for Mount Pleasant is a bit off.

All Tracks where made with 100°/280° METEO wind direction -> runway 28 should be active in all cases since it´s also the ILS runway

with 0kts Wind runway 28 is active.

with wind from 1-5kts runway 10 is actice

with wind greater 5kts runway 28 is active.

should be not too hard to fix and also maybe fixes some taxiing problems (

)

so maybe threads can be merged.

Unfortunately DCS's ATC behaviour is a hard coded ED feature and the ATC/ILS desync that occurs with a moderate headwind can and does effect all maps.

AFAIK it's not something a map team can fix and requires ED to rework/fix the core DCS ATC/ILS logic, however it appears to have a low priority (perhaps because it's non-combat related).

There's the promise of a DCS ATC rework sometime in the future but that still appears a long way off, so for now - players need to keep DCS's idiosyncrasies in mind when flying or designing missions.
