LAX Active Runways

**airfrance** · 09-23-2009, 02:51 AM

The active runways are the 7L/R and 6L/R all the time now. Even in the dead of day with 4KTS winds. I have Cloud 9 with an AFCAD designed for Cloud 9. Nothing seems to be getting the runways to be the realistic 24L/R 25L/R. It used to be and now all of the sudden, it never is anymore. Is it just because of the weather. I've had 25KTS winds and still had the 24's and 25's as actives. I know the 7's and 6's are active at like 12am but not 12pm, unless wind direction is permitting. Why is it now only the 7's and 6's.

Hi,
What direction is the wind coming from?

As an experiment, manually set the wind to about 230 deg to 270 deg and see what happens.

Winds were 171 @ 13 when I landed and sure enough, active runways were the 6 and 7's.

Winds in real life are 210 @ 6 and FS is importing 056 @ 2 with Active Sky. It's as if flight sim will do everything in it's f***ing power to make the active runways 7/6.
