[ATC] - Use all available RWY for landing and takeoff

Feature requests Gameplay

:bullseye: What is your suggestion?
Use all available runways for landing and takeoff rather than choosing the shortest distance(the airport is divided into half)

:hammer_and_wrench: How would it work in the game?
Use all available runway for landing regardless where the gate is

Use whichever runway has a shorter queue for takeoff or player select which runway use for takeoff

:balance_scale: Why is this a good idea?
BKK 19 usually has a crazy long line for takeoff since majority of the gates are on the left half of the airport

In reality at BKK, RWY 19 is used for both departures and arrivals, while RWY 20L is used for departures and RWY 20R is used for arrivals.

I’m not talking about which runway is used for what operations.

I’m saying that the player or automated system should be able to choose whichever runway has the lesser queue for takeoff.

I’m a pilot and we don’t always get the closes runway from our spot for takeoff. ATC will make us taxi the entire airport to takeoff from the runway on the other side of the airport.

Prime example would be KJFK where 31R is the closest to JetBlue gate but sometimes land on 31L during dual runway operation and they have to taxi all the way around the airport.
