Active runway is based off wind directions, not a normally used runway. If FSX weather sets wind at a heading of 360, then you'll be using runway 180. See, wind conditions at LAX are usually in favor of runways 25 or 24, although they're in the wrong direction for many things, except Asia and hawaii. However, if you set FSX weather to 250 degrees, it'll put you on runway 7 or 6 because thats favorable to the conditions, although its not what's commonly used. another company makes they're stuff right, so trust them.

Peter, I think you are the guy sitting next to a pilot (which is flying). Not the one being legally responsible for the flight. Am I wrong?
I doesn't matter much though, but I was surprised about the 'downwind statement' of course. Maybe that's why I recall it.  :) For a sim usage, this is no problem of course. It's just a different beast if I do things right or not so right in my sim, or if I explain certain items to others, mixing them up severely (180 degrees to be precise). But it's a sim for a reason and I enjoy the freedom there, maybe in the same way as you do.

No problem with stating wrong things, but you are sometimes very confident about them, which may distract some other people.  ;)
Blaming some typos when the context is mixed up .. well. Yeah, lets keep it that way since saying 'I was wrong' is a hard thing to do for some.  :)
I've just reacted on the very confident statement of yours I think. Apologies.
