ISSUE DESCRIPTION
Description of the issue: After filtering missions by aircraft type to B737 MAX, Career Mode can offer mission with departure from LFLS 09R which, even if paved, wouldn’t be suitable for the aircraft (2951 ft. grass).
Fortunately, GND will accept a request for RW 09 (before taxi) and the mission can proceed.
Coordinate or location of issue: LFLS
FREQUENCY OF ISSUE
As often as Career Mode might select LFLS as departure.
REPRODUCTION STEPS
Please list clear steps you took in order to help our test team reproduce the same issue:
-
Open Missions screen in Career Mode
-
In Missions list, click Filters > Aircraft Model > Boeing 737 Max
-
If a mission appears at LFLS, runway selection seems to always prefer 09R.

Prior starting the mission, should not you select in the EFB the correct departure runway as part of your flight plan and send it to the ATC/avionics ?
Do you have below option enabled ? (not sure if it applies for Career mode):
I do and have had that option enabled.
Sure, I could review & correct wholly unsuitable runways prior to accepting the mission but then this question looms even larger: What is the purpose of having an Aircraft Model filter in the missions screen in the first place? I would have expected such a filter to at least include the logic to only select suitable runways for the selected aircraft, even if other factors at the airfield aren’t considered.
Also, in many - if not most - of my Career Mode missions, in-game ATC has disregarded or refused any changes to the preselected departure runway, even when made before accepting mission (and despite the option you pictured). Changes made to procedures, route & destination runway selections are more readily accepted. I was actually surprised when my request for LFLS 09 departure was accepted. The request (and possible denials elsewhere) simply wouldn’t have been necessary if the filter were more useful/meaningful.
