Hi Durk, Yes, if you're trying to more intelligently choose the active runway, then you're probably wanting both aircraft type and weather set before your runway choosing function gets called. Add stage 1a - get aircraft type (heavy, light etc). At the moment though, you'll be able to set the runway for all the AI traffic very nicely, but at startup you'll still have missing information at the time of setting it for the user, just as the current code does. Your mail is stuck in proprietry format on a box I can't boot at the moment BTW :-( As soon as it's resusitated (reinstall OS) I'll take a look at it. If it's still in your outbox, perhaps you could hit the send button again...
