If FSX weather sets wind at a heading of 360, then you'll be using runway 180.
 :-?
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.
