Requesting taxi to runway option

Hello,

So I’m a little bit confused, when I make a plan, I check the runway is open and operating (via flight planner web), I then when the aircraft is on, and I have entered the flight plan, I call ground services and request taxi to runway, so if I’m departing, i.e rwy22(according to plan), I choose ‘request taxi to runway departing west’ and then I get something like approved departure runway 31, so I have to go to the flight plan and change the departure procedure, which is annoying.

Question is, how do you guys handle this situation, do you request taxi to runway before entering the flight plan and accommodate accordingly, or?

I usually check ATIS and METAR to determine what runway is active before I start entering a flight plan into FMC. You can also check what runway AI traffic is using. If there are two paralel active runways ATC will clear you to the closest to your parking spot.

Beg to differ.

Two parallel runways, e.g. LHR, one will be for departures, and the other for arrivals.
Same at SFO.

What REALLY needs to be done witth MSFS is Cockpit Sharing where one flys the aeroplane and the other does flight plan management and engine trims.

ok, lets say I have checked which runways are available for departure. and Rnw 22 and 31 are available. Then I entered in my FP to take off from rnw 22, But my flight plan is to go north-east after take off, The SID chosen will send me that way eventually, then which runway option to choose when requesting taxing, departing, west,(rnw 22’ish), or departing east (SID).?
Also in some airport, I get the option to request another departure runway, but in some I don’t get such an option… so weird… :confused:

having such a MP option, to fly the same flight, one as Captain, and second person as FO would be so GOOD!.

Are you flying IFR or VFR? What plane?

Mostly IFR, Cessna Longitude

Isn’t it so that you get your rwy assigned from atc? I don’t think it’s your choice to make?

I can’t argue with this. Makes sense. Just thought, since we have the preplan done, flight planner web, or simbrief, doesn’t makes more sense in pre-preparing it then. Just get clearance first then put the departure.
One thing I have realize though, is that when I take too much time between clearance for taxing and actually taxing, then the TCA Sidestick copilot stuff (or IDK if FS thing), gives me a message Taxi incursion" or something like that… I guess its a bug

Are you talking about MSFS or real life? I’ve never seen default ATC using one runway for departures and another one for landings.

ATC don’t follow the same logic when selecting active runway as Simbrief or the new FS2024 planner so be ready to adjust flight plan when you are already in the plane. If wind is stronger than 10kts they will give you runway with head wind 99 times out of 100, but with wind speed below 10kts ATC is unpredictable.

Moved to User Support Hub that is more appropriate for community support.

A heavy bomber had 7 or 8.

Pilot, co-pilot, Navigator/Bomb aimer, Flt Engineer, 3 or 4 gunners.

Pilot and co-Pilot worked in shifts. One flying and one relaxing in the bunk.

The best bit though was,
they were all on amphetamines to keep them alert.

In FS2020, there is an option under Assistance → User Experience. Its name is: ATC Enforce Flight Plan. This option being ON will force ATC to assign runways, etc. according to your flight plan. I do not know if 2024 has the same capability or, if so, what it is called. Thanks. --Redeye

I think i saw it somewhere as well in fs24

Re: 2024. I just saw another post with the relevant screen shot. This option, in 2024, is under Assistances → Realism and has the exact same name. Thanks. --Redeye

Real Life.
Everything MUST emulate Real Life.

If it doesn’t, it is just plain wrong.

e.g.

I was stuck at Brize Norton with low cloud so decided to register an IFR plan.

I was off to Cranwell, which is EAST.

I was instructed to climb to 4000’, which is WRONG.
“East is odd, and west is odder.”

3000’ for a ( light aircraft < 2,500kg ) IFR flight to the east.
3500’ for VFR of the same aircraft.

Over England, on that trip, 1500’ is OK.

I climbed to 3000’ where there were no cloulds and looking ahead, there was sight of the ground, so abandonned IFR to VFR when I had clear sight of the ground. Descended to 1500’ and it was plain sailing.
