I started FSX up this morning and whenever I started on the runway, I was on the wrong end of it.

It's fixed now.

Anybody know why it happened?

Er, I'm pretty sure that depending on the weather, the active runway changes.

Yeah, you've probably selected the active runaway and then changed the wind direction and speed which changed the active runaway

Might have had something to do with the weather actually. Thanks.

What do you mean the wrong end of the runway were you on active runway and put on a diffrent runway or you selected a runway and it put you on the other runway.

I know you fixed it but I was just wondering.

No He was on the right end of the runway for when he spawned, just as the other guys said, i think sometimes fsx weather updates dont get there quick enough. I have started a plane taxied to the suggested runway, then while taxing the wind has changed and the planes are landing from the other side, minor flaw ( anothe rine ) in FSX ai, but still its nice having them their.

Dialing up ATIS (Automatic Terminal Information Service) on your Radio at any time will give you a full Airfield report, local weather conditions, visibility, wind direction, active runway(s), etc, etc.... ...!

For uncontrolled Airfield/Airstrips you will have to observe the wind direction for yourself, before taking off and landing......!

...keep a wary eye on that Wind Sock!......!

On this note, I noticed that everytime I make an ifr flight plan departing CYUL, and leave my starting point as the active runway, then afterwards proceed to change the weather to real-updates it lines me up on 06L when 90 percent of the time the actual active runway is 24R. if i change to real world updates first then enter my flight plan and choose active runway will it remedy this?? I guess i should just try it lol. The funny thing is, if I am too lazy to taxi to 24R and just call the tower for take-off clearance they clear me and I take off on 06L without any problems lol  8-)
