FSX Crosswind Runways at LaGuardia
- Thread starter gcrewmc
- Start date
Unfortunately FSX doesn't care about logic, some airports with Xwind runways are not always going to work as well as we wish,
does the traffic parked on the west side use 4/22 for take off? have you tried changing the wind direction?
as Tom said the direction of arriving aircraft play a role of which runway gets selected
your fake runways are in the correct order although i always go from top (Lowest number) to bottom which usually has the longer runway at the top
you probably know of the simple test to check if the non parallel runways are operating and that is to bring up ATIS and see if it calls out all the runways in sequence
when i did my version of KLGA both runways worked perfectly using Jim's technique

LOL!!! much like KORD without the Xwind runways operating
OK you have runway 13/31 at the top of the list, this usually happens when you don't save immediately after configuring all the runways
I'm guessing you compiled after you moved the runways
just drag 13/31 to the bottom of the list and "Save" straight away, then check the list again
you also need to run Fault finder as there are plenty of issues there
good luck

Finally, well done,
has the queue dropped any?
now you know how to do it next time, usually aircraft will use the runway nearest to them, but because you have now included fake runways the sim may not always look for the nearest one,
you could try changing the wind to come from the Southwest at 8kts or above to see what that gives you, as i said earlier none parallel runways don't always work as we like at some airports but they will work
if you need to try another method you always use Jim's "Advanced" technique which will turn one of the runways around to use the opposite end, which will also work at KLGA which i think use the same 11 fake runways

Probably not if one runway is getting the bulk of traffic, the big problem at KLGA is traffic having to cross 13/31 to get to 22 while traffic maybe landing on 31, here we use the diamond crossing technique for the paths across a runway, you get near misses with landing aircraft but get a better flow,
be the same with a wind change, traffic will have to cross 4/22 to get to 13, i find it odd that the bulk of the parked aircraft are nearer to 13/31, just check that 13/31 is open for takeoff/landing i don't remember having this problem
how about closing "Both" ends of 4/22 for "take off" only to force 31 to be used for take off, maybe worth a try if 31 is not used much for landing

I have just checked the file you uploaded
This is why you are having a problem!!! this is 13/31......both runways are closed for take/off and landing!!!
runway 4/22 is the same!!! Closed,
you cannot close runways that have ILS associated with them unless the airport has a runway that is open for use
what you are experiencing is FSX falling back on the default airport usage which is 4/22 i think
make sure both runways are open for takeoff and landing and hopefully the problem will be fixed
