• Which the release of FS2020 we see an explosition of activity on the forun and of course we are very happy to see this. But having all questions about FS2020 in one forum becomes a bit messy. So therefore we would like to ask you all to use the following guidelines when posting your questions:

    • Tag FS2020 specific questions with the MSFS2020 tag.
    • Questions about making 3D assets can be posted in the 3D asset design forum. Either post them in the subforum of the modelling tool you use or in the general forum if they are general.
    • Questions about aircraft design can be posted in the Aircraft design forum
    • Questions about airport design can be posted in the FS2020 airport design forum. Once airport development tools have been updated for FS2020 you can post tool speciifc questions in the subforums of those tools as well of course.
    • Questions about terrain design can be posted in the FS2020 terrain design forum.
    • Questions about SimConnect can be posted in the SimConnect forum.

    Any other question that is not specific to an aspect of development or tool can be posted in the General chat forum.

    By following these guidelines we make sure that the forums remain easy to read for everybody and also that the right people can find your post to answer it.

MSFS20 Changes with MSFS SU14 : Runways assignment

Hello.
I have just realized that MSFS ATC seems to stick to the runways priorities for T/O or landing set in ADE since the latest release SU14. My favorite airport has parallel runways and I was using AIFlow and/or AIGround to force AIs to use proper runways but I noticed something "strange" and deactivated them. I then modified in the "Pattern" menu the settings to swap properties in ADE and MSFS ATC engine seems to respect this so far. I haven't check for non-parallel runways airports yet.
Reading the MSFS "Active development" it might be the answer here :
"Added flight plan assistance setting for ATC in the user experience assistance settings so that users can request the ATC to favor their flight plan or world map flight settings over the current conditions. This assistance is set to “Active” by default. Active: ATC will set the active runway and approach for the departure and arrival airport based on the users flight plan or settings in the world map. Deactivated: ATC will set the active runway and approach based on current conditions only. Added flight plan assistance setting for ATC in the user experience assistance settings so that users can request the ATC to favor their flight plan"
It is a major step forward IMHO.
 
I'm still longing for multi frequency support for differing runways. YBAF has one frequency for one runway (departures east and south) and another frequency for the other runway (departures north and west).
 
Multi frequency is supported but is totally illogical and very complicate to understand. You can assign different frequencies for an airport but one frequency cannot be assigned for a dedicated runway yet.
