It would be nice if the weightings could vary depending on the aircraft. For example, a J3 Cub would care a lot more about wind alignment and be perfectly happy with a grass strip, but a big jet would need the long/wide runway no matter what the wind. Also, I don't know if you're taking wind speed

2007-10-04 Thread Melchior FRANZ
I've today changed the runway selection behavior. In the past, runway 28R was pre-selected in preferences.xml, and a heading of 270 was hard-coded in options.xml. So, if you started from another airport, fgfs first checked for a runway 28R, and if there was none, chose the runway with heading clos
