Is it really that hard to just look at my username and type it? Alternatively, you can call me Alex.

And I tested it out but didn't really see much difference so I am playing with it some more.

Could you send it to me & I'll make it a sticky for everyone.

Me?

Still playing around. But if I come up with something that actually seems to work, then sure. Right now though, I don't have crossing runways...more just forced departures on runway 9 and landings on 4R and 4L.

I'm assuming this really isn't possible but is there a way to make 4L so that only props are allowed to take off from it? (As this is the real-world procedures as I understand them...and what I noticed from a few weeks ago when I was spotting at KBOS from the Terminal B garage).

Anyone that creates one & doesn't mind sharing. There's a lot of demand for it. Can you guys add attachments to posts?

Sure it's possible, but the runway will need to be shortened so much that it won't work for landings of anything other than props too.

If that's what you want, then open the runway in ADE and edit the length down from it's current length.
How much to shorten it is a matter of constant testing to be sure it is porps and only props that use it.

I can't give you a figure as I've never tried it at BOS, but I have done elsewhere and it seems to work for me.

If you do figure it out, as George says, please attach it if possible.

IIRC, with FS9, once you go below 6500' of runway length, only AI planes below a certain empty_weight (as set in aircraft.cfg) will use the particular runway for takeoff.

Thanks guys...I figured that would be the way to go. I'm still going to play with it some more and if I come up with anything good I will plan on posting it here.

[MidgeyMidget2]

Alright, well...

I've got nothing. I realized changing the length of 4L will also restrict departures on 22R, which is not real world procedures.

After searching around, I was only able to find part of a STAR runway config. tutorial so I have no idea how to make crossing runways actually work. I read something where you have to change the outer marker but I didn't want to completely screw things up and I'm sure there is more to it than changing the OM.

Still waiting for a Xwind afcad. Anyone have a working one by any chance?

[TJC]

Here are the figures I've got in the AFCAD installed for KBOS. Not sure what file I'm using, but these work ok for me.

Make a backup of your original file, then open the AFCAD in ADE and insert these numbers in the Runways tab to get crosswind runways working.

As mentioned, I have no idea where I got this file from so please don't ask me to upload it here. As it's not my work, I won't do it.
If Martin or George want it, then please email me and I will send it to them only.
Up to them then to upload it if they wish.

As part of AIG Ground, I do intend to do this Airport soon, no idea how long it will take as I currently have other files ahead of this in the works which are ahead on the list.

Thanks Tom C. I will give this a try later on tonight and post results probably by tomorrow.

I know this might be pushing it but you wouldn't happen to have a x-wind file for Vienna V2 as well would you?

That's a file currently in the workshop, no promise date for it I'm afraid as there is a lot of work involved compared to the original version.
Had to start from scratch completely as upgrading the old AFCAD was going to take as long as starting new, and most likely wouldn't be as good.

I need to sort the runways this week, if I can I will post them here.
