amberdog1 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 when I fly from phnl to anywhere using IFR rules, the atc always directs me to runway 4R. I have never taken off from any other runway regardless of the plane or weather. Is there away to change this? AD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiger1962 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 You could try a replacement AFCAD like this one in the library here: FSX - FSX Scenery FSX Scenery--Honolulu International Airport [ Download | View ] Name: fsx_phnl_rs.zip Size: 2,603,894 Date: 12-16-2015 Downloads: 6,616 FSX Scenery--Honolulu International Airport (PHNL) Hawaii (HI), USA. This airport update is for PHNL with two optional files made only for FSX, one version with the crosswind runways activated where all four runways will be used for takeoff/landing and one version as the default runway operation. Assigned parking as per their website with extra parking including gates for the A380, taxiways and taxi signs updated to the latest charts, hazardous cargo pad and buildings added, fuel tank farm, helipad, Lagoon Dr. also included, support vehicle roads rebuilt and many other scenery objects added. Airport views are from the roof of the control tower (when in tower view). By Ray Smith. Tim Wright "The older I get, the better I was..."

ColR1948 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 Could it also be the weather/wind direction you have set, sometimes changing this may make ATC guide you to the other runway? Col. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberdog1 Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 Tim thank you for your idea, didn't work for me. I tried using the default b747, b777-200 and an a380. All had me go to runway 4R. I also tried with AS16 weather and making changes to the winds, used the weather in FSX and everything remained the same.

mrzippy Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I'm getting runway 8L at Honolulu Lulu airport. Still thinking about a new flightsim only computer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
amberdog1 Posted February 3, 2019 Author Share Posted February 3, 2019 I wonder if it has something to do with Global Traffic. Something to look into. Thanks Zippy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DirkDP Posted February 4, 2019 Share Posted February 4, 2019 Hi, ATC will always direct you to the nearest runway from your parking spot. A few years ago I downloaded Antonio Arreghini's KORD 2016 upgrade for FS9. In the readme he briefly mentions why he shortened 9L/28R with an extra long overrun. I emailed him for extra info. Here's a copy/paste of some of his explanation relating to takeoffs (applies to FS9, FSX and probably P3D). PS: Another important factor to take into account is that, to avoid cloaking, it is important in such a busy airport (=with many AI planes) to have one runway dedicated EXCLUSIVLY to T/O and one for Landings. If more are presents, you can chose, but be aware that the most “outern†RW are more prone to be used for landing, and the inner ones (closer to the parking spots) are used to T/O. The reason is that, after the group is selected, the runway closest to the airplane position gets priority. So if you leave all runway active, still the AI will be sent to take off to the closes places from parkings, and will land to the closest runway available. Antonio Arreghini >> Also, I use both ASE and AS6.5. Both have a "Refresh AI" button. Sometimes I need to hit that button several times before AI/ATC resets to the current weather. Regards, DDP.

ColR1948 Posted February 5, 2019 Share Posted February 5, 2019 Don't know why I didn't think of that, I did that in an FS9 airport and it worked great, since going over to FSX I haven't messed with AFCADS. As mentioned above the AI flow worked a lot better, plus in the airport I did this I also had the taxiing routes separated so they didn't conflict with each other.
