fellowman2003 Certificates/Ratings/Crew Stations: "Runway numbers where are you?" 09-17-03, 15:14z  I am into Microsoft Flight sim 2004. The sim presents a major problem for me.It is finding runway numbers other than the one you're plane starts on, and the "in game" learning manual fails to help. It always happens when I want to taxi before takeoff. I begin, at say north on runway 36. But I want to go WEST not north. So I contact the ATC or the control tower. They will in turn tell me to taxi on my present runway to runway 6 west or 7 west and hold my plane for clearance for takeoff. Sounds simple right? But where is runway 6 or 7? They are not painted on the runways going west. In fact there are no runways going due west or left from the main runway running due north and the little blocks always are a1 a2 or a3. I taxi all over the airport trying to find a different numbered runway. No luck. So I end up just taking off straight north and turning my plane due west in midair. Does anyone else have this problem? If not, how do you find the runways going west? Alert Edit | Reply | Reply With Quote | Top
