Hiya folks! New and have a couple questions!

Ask questions about flying techniques here. Real or Simulated - the principles are the same!

The ATC wants you to land on he Active Runway, which is the runway with the largest headwind, therefore making the easiest landing.

Once Flight Sim's ATC had selected a runway, they will not let you land using from the opposite direction. You can select a different approach, but you will always be directed to land on the original runway.  Think of a controlled runway as a one way street, with the tower controlling the direction, which in flight sim is usually based on wind direction.
