SYD - Conversation

Sydney only has one landing runway as it was coded in that way, no way to activate it currently

Not possible at this stage.

I don’t know if that would be available in the future, since we got MCT updated which used to have only 1 for landing as well, maybe we can have a wish?

Hi everyone, due to more contracts, I have to buy more terminals. But I found that T1’s takeoffs and landings are all on the west runway (16R). I want to have most of the aircraft take off from 16L (east runway), which can greatly improve my takeoff efficiency. I want to know, among the following terminals, which one will take off from 16L (east runway): T2D T2E T3A T3B and the almost impossible T1B and T1C. Thanks for your help!

Everything left of runway 16R uses 16L as takeoff, the rest uses 16R

The main problem is currently the runway operation is set so there is no way to change that.

Devs talked about a potential function allows to choose runway operation and taxi routes. Hopefully that could help but have to wait until implemented.

Similarly, when can the waiting area and taxiing route on the domestic side of SYD runway 16R be used.

G’Day Flyboys,

Can you make I gates separate to D gates for International and domestic.

Thanks

What exactly are you asking for? To lock the specific terminals to what contracts can be assigned to them? That’s based on how you play, not real life. If you mean remove the “I” in front of the numbers, that’s a more realistic possibility.

It was just a thought because only international flights go to I terminal etc.
I do run Sydney as per the I and D terminals for flights. It make it rather interesting and handling of aircraft mush more fun.

Just keep it as is.
Thanks

There should be a function available for selecting runway operation soon, so anyway…

I do not insist on the second track since Syd is working the same as in real life except for the parking doors but in the operation it is the same, the second track that crosses is not used.

But they use both runways for Arrival and Departure at the same time and it changes depending on the time of day. I also would rather have both runways for Arrival and Departure or just one runway for Arrival and the other for Departure.

We qre talking about the parallell runway, not the one that crosses the main one!!!

Id rather have em both used for arrivals and departues but id rather have 16L be for arrivals and departures for the domestics,

Side note = for the scheduling stuff we might see runway usage for which planes should land on which runway mabe

Honestly I’m getting excited about SYD, I hope we get some kind of info soon.
I’m curious to see what they have planned, hoping for more levels, destinations, and even some more power out taxis, from certain stands
Along with the Fokker models :grin:
