Okay, when I first started out with ADE, and after solving the compiler issues, I started out trying out the crosswind tutorials, and eventually applied it to my fictitious city and airport expansion. Right now, it has four runways, two parallels; 15/33, 03R+03L/21L+21R, and 07/25 is a late addition. I first tried a smaller alternative expansion with just two runways. The original airport's Primary Use runway was 15/33, at 3900 ft in length. The newer runway was 3/21, for the smaller practice run, but was bigger, longer, and had more sophisticated instruments.
So my first question is, since the newer runway, 03/21, was bigger, longer, and more sophisticated, in addition to seeming to receive the bulk of AI traffic, is that the new Primary Use runway? Or was it still 15/33, since it was there first?
As for my bigger, main version of my airport, at least 1 runway is always in a tailwind. With wind coming from 126°, 07/25, at 71.3° and 4950 ft, would get the tail wind traffic, while the others maintained headwind traffic. In this larger version, 03R/21L is also the biggest and longest, 11000x200, at 30.0°, 03L/21R is 8900x150 ft also at 30.0, and 15/33 is 8000x100 ft at 157.91°. With this bigger airport, is 15/33 still the primary use, or did it shift to 03R/21L, as it seemed to recieve the bulk of AI traffic prior to my crosswind attempts?
Three screenshots, one showing the North/South orientation in ADE, and the second, showing the wind direction in FS9, with the Cessna (me) pointing towards the headwind, and the third showing my crosswind setup.
