I had a cargo mission from Travis AFB last night. The ramp was populated with every civil airplane in the sim. Then, it had me taxi to runway 21L for takeoff.
For those not in on the joke, here’s how that looks:
3.6 miles, including a backtaxi to a runway that’s not really used for departures, and kept to a speed less than 20knots? Should have been a 30 minute flight, but 11 minutes extra taxiing. There should be weight given to preferential runways, calm-wind runways, etc.
In fact, I’m going to make that a wishlist item.
