:-?
Wind direction: where the wind is
coming from.
Runway heading: where the runway
points to.
Wind from 360 means use runway 36, unless you want to have tailwind. :)
Quote:if you set FSX weather to 250 degrees, it'll put you on runway 7 or 6 because thats favorable to the conditions |
Taking off with tailwind is favourable? :o
It's possible, up to a certain level (manufacturer and/or airline ops limit), but the favourable way is to have a
headwind for takeoff and landing.
Mark, I think there's a way to alter the Orbx YMML runway assignment. They have included a crosswind and a "normal" file, if my mind doesn't trick me.
