FSX CHANGING RUNWAY NUMBERS PLUS

My understanding of patterns is pretty limited but if I were to hazard a guess, a right pattern is for planes approaching from the right and taking off to the right, so the runway in essence forms the left side of a clockwise loop. Then I thought maybe it was a pattern right/left issue. But the AI didn't care and used it anyway! I don't understand why. But I did so just to really make sure that runway was closed. I opened the airport in ADE clicked on the runway 1R (the short one that I don't want it landing on), and in the pattern tab I closed all 4 fields (primary takeoff, primary landing, secondary takeoff, & secondary landing)- even though the primary takeoff on 1R is really the only one I'm concerned about. Problem is, no matter how hard I try, my AI plane will only land on rwy 1R. It just seems so silly that it's using that runway, and I want to force it to use the longer one to the left. In real life, it would very difficult for a Southwest sized airplane to land on that runway, and as it is, even in the simulator, the AI aircraft screeches to a halt and uses up all of it.

Plus the gate the plane is headed toward, I placed to the west (left) of 1L, so 1L is a more convenient choice, and I would really prefer it if my plane used it for landings.ġR on the other hand, is pretty darn short at 2800' and is much narrower and sparse in special landing features.

When flying under default calm conditions (landings and takeoffs are directed to north facing runways), the AI aircraft only wants to land on 1R and never on 1L.ġL is much longer at about 5000' and wider and better marked with VASI lights and the like. Aside from the fact that I had to give it one parking spot big enough to fit the plane at the airport, it lands and takes off fine. I created a flight plan using AIFP to make an SWA B738 fly into a medium sized GA airport in the San Francisco East Bay.

Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.Īny other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.īy following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.įirst off, I'll start by saying that I don't know if this is more of a question for the AIFP forum or the ADE forum, but since ADE is where I alter the airport for the AI planes, I'll start by asking my question here.

Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.

Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.

Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum.

Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum.

Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.

Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum.

Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.

So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions: But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this.
