I have a question.

seeing the current mechanic for landing aircraft, would you be ok with the planes spawning over runway 25 to land on 16L, visually speaking?

why not
however I’m assuming they are only animating landing from somewhere really close to the runway entry, so even 16L landing is enabled, it is not likely to spawn over 25

Where do you think it would spawn then?

All runways spawn around the same distance away from the runway

just curious of a general opinion

maybe ahead the parking lot?

cus I feel you spawning over the runways seems a bit more complicate?

Yea I agree tho

I think that’s likely the reason we don’t have it. If and when it comes I reckon we’ll get a much longer glide in with the aircraft spawning further away.

But that means planes waiting longer on the ground for take off as well as longer for the arriving plane to get to the gates

Very true but it’s either that or the plane spawning in over the airfield which sort of ruins the realism. It’d make for some great photo opportunities with aircraft overflying the airfield.

Absolutely agree, I such as Dash 8 or F70, or similar. Them same goes for cargo. Example; Tamworth Airport can handle a C130 but you cannot get one for that airport. In fact, most of Australian can take a C130.

That’s why I brought the question up cause I think that might be a reason why the devs haven’t implemented 16L landings

I have a latest satellite image that I could access, showing the new remote stands near the runway 07/25 (closer to the 25 side).

It clearly shows 6 widebody (maybe E) stands (or maybe F?) with additional parking lines of 6 C stands. Hope in the next time they rework on SYD they could add such stands along with the stands at the south of International Terminal (close to runway 07) and dual runway landing.

I hope so as well. Finally feeling the effects of not having the other runway available for landing

The lone cargo stand on the opposite side of the runway to these is an E Class. On satellite view you can see an A330 parked up there but in game it’s limited to a C class.

Also need some kind of solution for the overlapping stand F11 and F12 for the REX Saab’‘s because that one still irritates me that they can’t park next to each other anymore because the SF34 is a B plane when it’s basically an oversized A plane
