Runway takeoff direction

Post by cutfarm » Wed Jan 06, 2021 2:53 pm

I understand that the tow plane direction is determined by wind. Is that correct? Is there any way to control and change the runway direction in landscapes other than wind direction? The runway at my home airport is wrong and I want to change it.

The primary runway direction is defined by the landscape creator and is set in the .apt file

It is possible to modify it by yourself if you use the tools described in this thread : viewtopic.php?f=37&t=20176 (you need to change "1y Dir Rev" which should be either 0 or 1)

Please note that I will assume no responsibility whatsoever if anything goes wrong, make sure that you have a backup copy of the original file

Apparently modifying the .apt file is not considered as a cheat offline, but it might prevent you from flying multiplayer as there would probably be some mess when taking off :roll:

I would rather recommend to contact the landscape creator and ask him to change that and issue a patch.
