ATC assigned Runway (Read 303 times)

Am I correct in saying that when arriving at a multi-runway airport, FSX's ATC will always assign you the same runway to land on each time you visit?

From my experience anyway this seems true.

If so, then is it possible to find out which runway will be assigned for any given airport (ie is it stored in some file?).

This would greatly assist my flight planning, especially with regards to programming the FMC. I assume in real life an airport has a normal runway for landing and this would only change if weather, winds or other circumstances dictate, ie planes normally land on runway 27 at Heathrow but occasionally this changes to 9 if the winds shift. I want to find out this 'normal' runway for any given airport.

Anyone got any ideas?
