I think you missed the point of what I was saying. The conversation goes Plane: Tower, Speedbird 1 requesting push and start Tower: Speedbird 1 pushback approved, expect runway 27R Plane: Ground 27R pushback approved, Speedbird 1. You see that the plane requests pushback from the Tower but gives the readback to Ground. Kev

After giving a pushback clearance I often want to change the departure point to a runway intersection. I've tried saying "Speedbird 1 Pushback approved, expect runway 25R at F" but it's not recognised. So, when the plane has pushed back and is ready to taxi I tell it the runway position "Speedbird 1 runway 25R at F". As soon as I get the readback the plane starts to taxi. Shouldn't he wait until I tell him to taxi? Speaking of pushbacks, I think there is a bug. The plane calls the Tower for clearance but gives the readback to Ground. And finally, is there a way to instruct a plane to cross a runway without waiting for it to stop and then saying "Continue taxi"? Kev

Thanks all. Kev

This is possibly more of a general question than a sim-specific one. I know that there are restrictions on the use of parallel runways - they have to be 2000-odd feet apart - but what activities need to be separated? For instance, at LAX I normally have landings on 24R and takeoffs from 25R. However, to reduce taxi times I would like to use 24L for departures from that side of the terminal. if I have landings on 24R does that mean that I can't use 24L for either arrivals or departures? Or, is it permitted to have a plane land on 24R and then clear a take-off from 24L once the landing plane has completed its landing roll and come to a stand? Kev

The upgrade spirit is willing, but the bank account is weak! Kev

I hadn't thought of that. I will give it a try and report back. Kev

Typing "VACATE RUNWAY LEFT/RIGHT ONTO TAXIWAY X" should work the same way as saying it. Kev

I've already got the graphics settings as low as they will go. I will have a fiddle and see if I can find a way round it. I wouldn't have thought that CPH woukld be that taxing, especially compared with LHR. Kev

I have an issue with EKCH freezing after about 30 minutes game play. I know I don't have the fastest graphics card in the world, but I have not had any problems with other airports. I bought CPH earlier this week so I think I have the most recent version of it and RC (airport bought via Steam, RC via feelThere website). After about 30 mins the ADRIS (which I have open on my 2nd monitor) closes itself, and then the game graphics freeze; the sound continues as normal. Game log attached. Kev game1.log

Helpful notes for European airports Eurocontrol's website has a very detailed data sheet for each airport under their control. There is a lot of information about each airport including runway capacity, runway choice with crosswinds and much much more. Eurocontrol website

Copenhagen airport (CPH/EKCH) I found a diagram on the airport website showing the percentage of flights using particular runways. For North Easterly operations 22L is used for landing and 22R for takeoff. For South Westerly operations 04L is used for landing and 04R for takeoff. Kev

It almost runs over the tug in some cases. Almost as bad as the car drivers driving on the wrong side of the road. Kev

I have a feeling that 30 seconds from approving pushback to the plane being ready to taxi is a bit quick! I've certainly never been on a plane that moves that fast! Kev

Thank you both for your response. Kev
