Hello, I think the airport is pretty good, but I notice one serious thing: the airport has 2 runways, why is only one used? Is this a bug or will it be unlocked at some point because I bought the airport specifically for it with money so that I have 2 runways but can only use one and it would be very helpful to be able to choose whether runway 1 is only for landings and runway 2 are only for starts. And I can also decide this there with the (APPROACH) and (DEPATURE). It would be really good if you could tell me what exactly is going on, and I would be happy if it isn’t in the game yet that it can be added as quickly as possible.
No it isn’t a bug, the devs have said why, I think it is because they don’t do it in real life. Also intersecting runways isn’t a feature yet

yes, but that’s a shame because I paid extra money to have 2 lanes and that’s very disappointing
Look I know it has 2 runways but 1 it’s not a bug and 2 that’s how it works in real life adding a 2nd runway is actually unsafe.

they use the other runway in special occasions, saw a 777 land there last year
you cant pay extra to have 2 lanes
Yes, that’s true, that would be dangerous, but is there another airport in the game with 2 lanes? that also work?
IAD has one landing and one departure runway in game (parallel). I haven’t played the others, but from what I hear I assume Heathrow will also have two active runways (parallel).
When there’s non-parallel runways, it’s usually because there are two different predominant wind directions, so one or the other is used based on the best headwind/least crosswind.

So this means you can use both runways at this airport at the same time? or how is it divided

Yes. Simultaneously. The Central runway (West most of what is rendered in-game) 19C is for landings. The East most, 19L, is for takeoffs. In the future we might have 19R for dual landings with 19L, and maybe even use of runway 30/12, but that’s just wishful dreaming right now. It would take a complete rework of the code from the sounds of it.
Thank you very much!!!
