Title: Can I get full use of twin landing strips Post by Dobermann on Feb 20th, 2011 at 2:24pm
Hi Simmers, My added FS9 KSEA afcad has the third runway, but my ai traffic hardly ever use it, resulting in a backlog of traffic trying to land, and of course disappearing, can the ai traffic be programmed to land on a specific runway to ease the situation, and make full use of both landing strips. Regards, Dobermann.

Normally the AI traffic will land on the runway closest to their approach direction. This leaves middle runways empty. What you can do is close the runway closest to the terminal for takeoffs (both ends) which will get them using the middle runway for takeoffs, and that will leave the left/right runways only for landings.
Hope this helps, |

Thanks for your help on this Tom, yes, the way I tried was to split departure areas to the north and south of the airport, then the arrivals will land as you suggested, roughly 50/50. I was attempting to lay out my own landing and parking spots, fighters and heavy stuff in two different parts of the airfield, with military aircraft only, for my own little air show, succeeded pretty well, but gave it up as I could not avoid the aircraft in many cases, from parking in an occupied bay, and not going to an empty one, no matter how many spare parking spots I put in, I had up to half a dozen parking this way which spoilt the illusion, tried all kinds of taxiways in and out, but could'nt master it, Anyway, thanks for your reply Tom.

If you have arriving aircraft parking into the same parking spot, it almost always means you forgot a red hold short node at the runway exit.
Hope this helps, |
