Selectable active runways for AI.

Would be nice to be able to select the active runway for AI to use. Some airfields you can do this by changing the wind heading. With bigger airfields that have runways that cross each this does not work.  I tried making a mission with the AI slotted in right next to the runway I wanted them to use but they wanted to Taxi all the way around the airfield to use a completely different runway.

Yes please.

AI planes spending 10 minutes to take off because they want to taxi to the runway on the opposite side of the base for some reason.

for once, I'm on the DCS side of this and don't think it's software.  Real aircraft take off into the wind.  Carriers turn into the wind. 

For my lunch breaks, I go to the local airport viewing area at the end of ONE OF the runways.  It's a crap shoot depending on wind if I'm going to see anything that day.

Like I mentioned in the first post. You can dictate that AI behavior with airfields with one or two runways by changing the wind direction. But with bigger airfields especially ones that have crossing runways AI will taxi around and take off no matter what the wind heading is.
