When I was doing research for my version of Kandahar AFB (OAKN), I came across the fact that taxiway G5, if necessary (and it could be necessary at this tremendously busy airfield), can be used for emergency landings. Now, from the above discussion, I am wondering if I could simulate such a feature? I realize, of course, there is no way to give an AI aircraft an emergency status, or to communicate that status to ATC, but it would be nice to occasionally see an AI aircraft having to land on G5 (in FSX, that is).
Could I add a narrow runway at the same location as taxiway G5? (Taxiway G5, incidentally, parallels the primary runway).
If the added runway were designated "secondary" and "landing" only, would AI land on it if the one and only primary runway were occupied with other aircraft? Is that the only circumstance under which AI aircraft would land on the secondary runway?
Would AI land on the added secondary runway/tawiway G5 even while other aircraft were taxiing on G5?
Since there are aircraft parked on both sides of the airfield, if a runway were added at the location of taxiway G5 would the fact that some aircraft are parked closer to the added runway than to the primary runway come into play?
What would ATC do?
These are just some quick questions off the top of my head.
What thoughts and answers do you have?
