Hey & hello ...

I put that question already as an attachment to my other question, but here it comes again:

Have another difficulty I want to aks for advise: how to re-define runways? I mean: for example in Frankfurt (EDDF) in real life we have RWY 7L/7R and 25L/25R for both, arrival and departure, and we have RWY 18 for departure only.

Time by time FS2004's ATC tells me to take exactly this 18 or 34 for arrival! This is of course totally wrong and unrealistic.  

Same happens in Zurich (LSZH) ... here I latetely got the clearance for RWY 10, but this is unrealistic as well ...  

Any suggestions of how to change that? Is there a way to split traffic up, btw.? Means: some planes leaving EDDF on RWY18, others on 7L others on 7R? ...

Thanks for your inputs
cheers!  

wolfpilot,

I think your solution might be had by using the program AFCAD to edit the existing airport AFCAD file that determines what runways are used for what, and so on.

Drop down to the Adding AI forum section to research this subject a bit.  The answer likely lies there.  You can download AFCAD from the SimV libraries.

best,

As John stated, Afcad 2.21 is  the program to use. There are limitations to how much you can do (about this problem) because of the way FS2004 ATC handles runways and traffic. The 'Runways' section of the Afcad>Help file explains some of the limitations.

You might also search your favorite download sites on the chance that someone has already created an add-on Afcad download that addresses the problem.
